+Summary: Problem with different newlines and multi-line TextBox controls overlapping text
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what 
+you are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+If you mix occurrences of "\r\n" and "\n" in a string supplied to a 
+multiline TextBox control the result isn't usable.  It ends up with text 
+overlayed on other text so it looks like gibberish.  I think there are 
+two ways to solve this: the 'wrong' newline could be drawn as a 
+usual 'square box' (really the default unknown char for the current font) 
+or maybe better yet just allow newlines to be either "\n" or "\r\n" and 
+maybe "\r" too.
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Make a multi-line textbox and set the text to "Line one\nLine 
+Two\r\nLineThree\rLineFour\r\bLineFive"
+2. run the app.
+
+Actual Results:
+On windows the result is:
+    Line one{square-box}Line Two
+    LineThree{square-box}LineFour{square-box}{square-box}LineFive
+On mono/linux the result is:
+    Line one
+    Line Two    /* Note that 'Line Two' and 'LineThree' overlap each
+    LineThree      other in the linux/mono display!! */
+    LineFour
+    LineFive
+
+Expected Results:
+  Either the result does the similar thing to windows where other-OS-
+newlines show up as square boxes, or they are handled properly and the 
+text does not overlap.
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+  Every time
+
+
+Additional Information:
+  I'm using the latest svn head revision of the code from May 10, 2007.
