Description

Steps to reproduce:

Compile the code below in Flex 3, or use the attached application file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical">

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[

[Bindable]
private var htmlText1:String = "<p><font size='20'>Example HTML Text Bug</font></p><br><p>This is all one paragraph of text, and should have a consistent leading, even though the header is a different font size. Notice that when the paragraph tag is closed, the leading changes. This should not occur.</p>";

[Bindable]
private var htmlText2:String = "<p><font size='20'>Example HTML Text Bug</font></p><br><p>This is all one paragraph of text, and should have a consistent leading, even though the header is a different font size. Notice that when I add a line break with
n, the leading is fine. This is what we'd expect, only without injecting a new line manually.\n</p>";

]]
>
</mx:Script>

<mx:TextArea
width="100%"
height="50%"
htmlText="

{htmlText1}

" />

<mx:TextArea
width="100%"
height="50%"
htmlText="

{htmlText2}

" />

</mx:Application>

Actual Results:

Leading is inconsistent in the last line in the first TextArea.

Expected Results:

Leading is consistent in the last line in the first TextArea.

Workaround (if any):

Add a line break to the htmlText string before closing the paragraph tag.
