Hmm - I'm only interested in straight text. The EditBox isn't bound so I wouldn't have thought 'Value' comes into it (although I could be wrong :-[)

IIRC it should behave like transform(). So whenever you ask for .text property, it seems to be running internally some kind of text_access method and giving you a representation of the value. May include stripping the LFs, as you just discovered.

But what I'm trying to discover is why one EditBox differs from the other in the content of the 'Text' property where the input is the same....
