I’ve got a pretty basic RESTful scaffold with just two fields,  
title:string and body:text.

When I edit the body, save it, and go back to edit it again, the text  
is pretty mangled. The first line of each paragraph is indented. Any  
ideas what could be causing this? Like I said, it’s pretty much a  
stock scaffold as generated by Rails 2.1.
