I tried your solution and it didn't work. I also tried something like this "44F5DED9\n\n3160E198" without using send_keys and it sets the text field like this 44F5DED93160E198.
Here's the html <textarea id="TextBoxFilterAccountItemID" cols="50" rows="5"></textarea> I'm not sure why it prevents up/down/return. It could be just an expanded text field, would that make a difference? Do you know why watir-webdriver would be different than watir? It seems like webdriver is ignoring the carriage returns in my set string but watir didn't. The test is that the user can search for skus that they've entered into the textarea by copying and pasting them from a file. Is there a way to simulate that? Or is that what the file path references in your gist are? -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support. In short: search before you ask, be nice.
