This would be corrected by the proper filter on that field. Since it was
not intended to be edited via the flex_editor, that entry was not made.

Whether this happens depends on the operating system and browser.

Follow the _meta_ link and add the filter "UNIX to MAC", which should work
for all browsers and operating systems. I will look at adding a default filter
when TEXTAREA is selected as the type....

We are working on it, sorry for the delay.
