            Bug ID: 154342
           Summary: Textarea does not count newlines properly against
                    maxlength
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 9
          Hardware: Macintosh
                OS: OS X 10.10
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Forms
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: aaron.nance at pearson.com

Hard carriage returns are being counted as 2 characters against the maxlength attribute. For example, if you have a textarea with a maxlength="20" and type "0123" and press enter, copy all, and paste as much as you can you'd expect the field to contain:

0123(newline)
0123(newline)
0123(newline)
0123(newline)

But what you get is 

0123(newline)
0123(newline)
0123(newline)
01

I've added the (newline) to clarify the newline characters. 

Each newline is being treated as a CR+LF instead of just a LF in the DOM.

This seems to be the same as ID 74686, which is marked as fixed, but still appears to be broken.
