Description Twey 2007-06-10 18:38:19 UTC
Version:           3.5.7 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          GCC 4.1.2 
OS:                Linux

When text is written to an element with white-space: pre; using Javascript DOM methods, the carriage return of any \r\n sequences displays as an unprintable character.  This is a fairly serious problem because IE doesn't recognise \n as a linebreak.

Note that the bug does not occur when using innerHTML, but does occur when setting the contents of a text node with .nodeValue.

Minimal test case:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Test page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p style="white-space: pre;"></p>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      document.getElementsByTagName("p")[0].appendChild(
        document.createTextNode("some\r\ntext\r\nhere")
      );
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

some*
text*
here

Is what displays for me, where instead of * I get what looks like a half note, but I can't cut-and-paste it to here.

Confirming in branch 4.0 r793993 (~4.0.3)
