How are you doing the code to copy and paste? Setting up a sting in MXML can look different than if you set it in actionscript. This may well be the issue.
Eg. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="vertical"> <mx:Script > <![CDATA[ private var word : String = "&\n hello"; ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:VBox> <mx:TextArea text="{word}" /> <mx:TextArea text="&\n hello" /> </mx:VBox> </mx:Application> This displays & hello in the first box and &\n hello In the second box. HTH or at least gives you something to look into, Kenneth.

When pasting into a textarea (on mac), all my newlines disappear! Hey guys, I'm having this problem on safari and Firefox, and it's a *big* problem. Any time I paste a bunch of text into my <mx:textarea/> it all looks OK, but the newlines aren't really there. Trace(comp.text) shows they're not there, and if I copy from the textarea they're gone. Is this a known bug, or am I forgetting some magic setting or something? I *really* need to be able to paste into this app! -Josh -- "Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee." Like the cut of my jib?
