But it doesn't display as multiline - it starts out as single-line and stretches. This is similar to the Facebook comment box, where Enter submits and Shift+Enter inserts literal line breaks. The Facebook post submission box starts out several lines tall, as does the Google+ post submission box and the Google+ comment box, and all of those have the opposite behavior. >> I guess we originally borrowed this behavior from >> Mathematica, which is another program that has the same "backwards" >> behavior that we do. > > We do this mainly because Mathematica does.
