Details

In plain text compose, hitting return puts in <br> tags. It should, instead, just
enter newlines into the content.

Why? Because the default value for a textarea (or plain text compose) will have
newlines, not <br>s, so we don't want to end up with mix 'n' match linebreaks
here.

Resolution: --- → INVALID
invalid.  newlines dont play as nicely with selection.  Try clicking on a
blankline that is caused by a newline, for instance.
