Re: Entering CR/LF into an EditField

[dda <headspin@gmail.com>]

It is indeed preserved -- I checked in a sample app -- but on the
surface, like Terry, I can't see the point. But then again, I am not
watching Kem's code, and Kem may have deeper motives.

However, on a display level, crlf is a 'doze thing, and means ONE line
break. So technically, there shouldn't be the need for two line
breaks. That's the reason the EditField converts crlf to cr on the
Mac.
