Comment:

I've created #64776 to track the issue for PRE and LISTING. I don't expect those to be addressed in 7.0.

This ticket now focuses specifically on TEXTAREA.

Ticket #64609
- Property Keywords has-patch has-unit-tests added
- Property Status changed from assigned to closed
- Property Resolution changed from to fixed
- Property Summary changed from HTML API: set_modifiable_text() ignores leading newlines in PRE, LISTING, TEXTAREA to HTML API: set_modifiable_text() ignores leading newlines in TEXTAREA

-                      initial
+                      v16
 The `::set_modifiable_text()` method on `WP_HTML_Tag_Processor` and `WP_HTML_Processor` will fail to include a leading newline in the provided plaintext content on the first text of `TEXTAREA`, `PRE`, and `LISTING` elements.
+The `::set_modifiable_text()` method on `WP_HTML_Tag_Processor` and `WP_HTML_Processor` will fail to include a leading newline in the provided plaintext content on the first text of `TEXTAREA` elements.
 This is due to special rules for these elements that cause a single leading newline to be ignored immediately following the open tag.
