Description

The rendered textarea resulting from a html:textarea does not contain a leading
'\n' or return character. When the browser is sending the content of the
rendered textarea, it removes a leading '\n' character.

<!-- fooBarProperty contains '\n Foo, Bar' -->
<html:textarea property="fooBarProperty"/> results in:
<textarea>
Foo, Bar<textarea>

This results in ' Foo, Bar' being send as content by the browser, but it should
be sending '\n Foo, Bar'. This problem can be resolved by rendering the
<textarea> with a '\n' after the start-tag. The rendered textarea should be:

<textarea>

Foo, Bar</textarea>

This result in '\n Foo, Bar' being send as content of the textarea, which is
correct.
