[Phpmyadmin-devel] bug 2107583

[Isart Montane]

hi all,

this is my first email and I'm trying to solve my first bug... so any
help would be appreciate :)

As marc suggested I'm trying to solve this bug
https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=detail&aid=2107583&group_id=23067&atid=377408

I think i've found a way to solve it but I'm not really happy with the solution.

The main problem with this bug is when you write this 2 html the
submited value is the same (and it shouldn't)
--------------------------------------------
code 1:
<textarea>hi</textarea>
--------------------------------------------
Code 2 (see the \n before 'hi'):
<textarea>
hi</textarea>
--------------------------------------------

I can't understand why the textarea tag ignores the first \n (or \r).
The easiest way to solve it (but I don't like it) is add an extra \n
just before the text like this
--------------------------------------------
Code 3 (see the \n\n before 'hi'):
<textarea>

hi</textarea>
--------------------------------------------
As this line is ignored all the times it should work (I don't know if
all the browsers ignores this \n...)

do you have any better ideas?
Attached you can see a php example to reproduce the bug.
