 Question to Alex and the rest from Adobe gang:
 
 Why the TextField does not include in numLines the number of lines
 which ends up with CR or LF?
 
 I.e. if you have a text:
 
 Mary has a little lambCR (1)
 Mary has a little lambCR (2)
 
 And the width of TextField is big enough to accommodate the whole
 string (1) without breaking it. 
 
 TextField thinks that it has 2 lines. But when it starts rendering
 text it places the CR symbol and we ending up with 4 lines of text. 
 
 Is this a bug or feature?
 
 PS this is .text property, not the .htmlText (which has similar
 problem of missing the brs from the count) 
 
 
 Thanks!

No problem, Alex!

I just found this thing while printing the contents of TextArea and I
am not sure is this a bug or not. 

Thanks!
Dmitri.
