Linebreaks in Textarea fields ? was created by jkirsch

I'm using a Textarea field to store a street address. This field is handled in backend without HTML editor. Linebreaks are entered in it just by hiting the "return" key, without specific HTML encoding.

On Joomla 3.3 with Flexicontent 2.2, all was working well : The linebreaks were handled and the field was correctly displayed on multiple lines.

On Joomla 3.4 with Flexicontent 3.0 beta 5, the linebreaks aren't anymore handled. All the field content is displayed on a single line.

What should I do to have a correct display on multiple lines ?

Hello

made this commit:
# Minor change for textarea field to restore older behaviour, new lines will be converted to HTML line breaks when HTML editor is disabled, more 3 or more new lines will be converted to 2
github.com/FLEXIcontent/flexicontent-cck...c03b982bcb5ec69cd0d6

Making use of something like this:

Code:

if (!$use_html) {
	$value = nl2br(preg_replace("/(\r\n|\r|\n){3,}/", "\n\n", $value));
}

-- Flexicontent is Free but involves a big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?
