I have never had this problem in any previous projects, but for some  
reason all text\_area inputs that contain a new line result in a huge  
indent

## ex

|Hello |  
|World |  
| |  
| |

| |
| --- |

## results in when editting

|Hello |  
| World |  
| |  
| |

| |
| --- |

I have stripped out all text formatting on record saves, as well as  
formating when filling the text box.

Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks
