598343 - Minefield (4.0b7pre) loses carriage return data with some form submissions

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 596455

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:2.0b7pre) Gecko/20100916 Firefox/4.0b7pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:2.0b7pre) Gecko/20100916 Firefox/4.0b7pre

When certain forms are submitted in Minefield 4.0b7pre page breaks are lost in the submission.

I have found this, for example, to be a problem when submitting an advert to gumtree.com or an answer to yahoo answers..

It has not been a problem, for example, with submissions to phpbbs or gmail..

There are many carriage returns in this submission. So lets see if they translate..

Things are fine with IE, so it's not the sites themselves.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Submit an answer at yahoo answers or an advert at gumtree.com
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
The post appears without carriage returns.

Perhaps this may be a dupe of bug 596455? 

Reporter: This may be a duplicate of bug 596455 (which was actually fixed just yesterday). If you'd like, you can download a nightly build, and assuming this is the same issue, that would have the fix for this:
