Multiline RadTextBox: new line does not display in IE

[Leonard]

Hello everybody,

When I am trying to set the text of a Multiline RadTextBox from CodeBehind, Internet Explorer (tested with 9 & 11) does not render new lines.
The text is coming from our database and lines are separated by "\r\n" - which should work in a textarea according to various other pages. Firefox and Chrome display it perfectly fine, while IE doesn't work (see attachments).

The text coming from the database is:
"06.02.2014 10:57, LeonardTest: defg\r\n06.02.2014 10:57, LeonardTest: hijk\r\n06.02.2014 10:57, LeonardTest: abcd\r\n"

I also tried replacing "\r\n" by "&#10;" (html new line) as well as <br />, but neither of them work.

Does anyone know a solution for this problem? It would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Leonard

Hi Leonard,

Unfortunately I couldn't replicate the issue at my end. Please have a look into the sample code snippet which works fine at my end.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadTextBox TextMode="MultiLine" ID="RadTextBox1" runat="server">
</telerik:RadTextBox>

C#:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadTextBox1.Text="Hello\r\nHai";
}

Let me know if you have any concern.
Thanks,
Shinu.

Hi Shinu,

thanks for your quick reply!

However, when I replaced the text coming from the database with your snippet, it still doesn't work in IE, while FF displays it correctly - again.
I am using the newest telerik and .Net versions. Here is the code of my textbox - is it possible that the resource file causes this issue? The text is only set in code behind, though.

<telerik:RadTextBox ID="txtHeaderRemarks" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" Label="Remarks" LabelWidth="90px" Width="886px" Height="60px" meta:resourcekey="txtHeaderRemarksResource1">

</telerik:RadTextBox>

Hi Leonard,

I am not able to replicate the issue at my end, given code is working fine for me. One suggestion is that you can use Environment.NewLine  which inserts a new line in a string. Please try the following C# code snippet which works fine at my end.

C#:

txtHeaderRemarks.Text = "This is an example"+Environment.NewLine+"New line";

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hi,
unfortunately, your last idea did not work either and we could not find any solution until we upgraded to the Q3 2013 SP2 version - now the bug has been gone. So it seems like it was a telerik issue, with the newest version everything's fine.

Thanks a lot,
Leonard

Hi Leonard,

You are correct, this was an issue with IE11 that was reported by a client and fixed.
