Text widget messing up newlines [message #806247]

I have several Text widgets for entering and editing some data.
I've found that the newline handling seems to be just plain weird.
If you type multiple lines into a Text widget, then use .getText(), each newline is a "\r\n" - which is just fine.
If I then use .setText() to put that text into a Text field, then .getText() to get that text back out, the newlines have become "\r\r\n".

How can I prevent this?

Arrgghh!!! This happened several times in a row while debugging, and now it refuses to happen again.

Ok, I think I've figured out the requirements to cause it to happen.
You need to have a mixture of "\n" and "\r\n" in the text.
When you have a mixture, it converts ALL the "\n" into "\r\n" - including the ones that already have the "\r".
