SA-13213

Summary

For New line, the character count increments by 1 instead of 2.

Character count is displayed in the Text Area when setting the Display Character Counter in Presentation Tab to True. When entering a new line in windows system, it is \r\n and in Unix system, it is \n. In this text area, when entering a new line (by pressing Enter key) the character count is increasing by 1, though it is a 2 character. This misleads users by displaying that there are characters remaining though no characters remain.

This is not an issue with Pega, but with the chromium.
