Can you share a sample of the XML content that you bind to your text control ?
For now I have stripped the XML formatting (i.e. newlines and indents - rich Text tags remain in place) to achieve the desired results with AS. Otherwise my process is very much as you describe yours and works fine for now. Are you writing rich text back to your data source ? Are you implicitly adding the <!CDATA ? wrapper or is this wrapper automated ?
