First new line character is removed when use <form:textarea> tag [SPR-13503]

[spring-projects-issues]

Kazuki Shimizu opened SPR-13503 and commented

When first character of input value is new line character, <form:textarea> is output the HTML as follow:

e.g.) input value at textarea is "<CRLF>input value"

<textarea id="text" name="text">
input value</textarea>

When render the above HTML on Web Browser(Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE ...), first new line character is removed from User Interface.
On an Web Browser,"<CRLF>input value" is render same with "input value" (without <CRLF>).

Probably, <form:textarea> tag should be output the HTML as follow:
(Append new line character after <textarea> start tag)

<textarea id="text" name="text">

input value</textarea>

Hi Brian Clozel, What status is this issue ?

[spring-projects-issues]

Brian Clozel commented

This fix adds a newline within textarea tags, since it seems to be part of the HTML 4 spec and browsers behavior.

Thanks for this report!
