I forgot to mention I'm using the bone stock textarea editor. (No CKEditor)

This was originally done on purpose, to prevent newlines in titles.

It should be smarter indeed.

Nope :) Sorry for the confusion :)

Out of curiosity: what kind of field are you using this for? A simple textual field without text formats, presumably?

Yeah, I don't have ckeditor installed... Just using whatever the plain/simple textarea that comes bone stock with D7. I hate ckeditor... It always want's to append 50 million other tags or options to everything it touches... So annoying. I'm hoping the baked in D8 version takes care of those issues :-)

#5: Well, you can't use the plain text editor for something that is not plain text (i.e. any text that uses Drupal's text formats). And yes, I personally guarantee you that CKEditor is already much better in that regard and that it will approach perfection in that area when Drupal 8 ships ;) :)

whoops! it was late when I replied to your comment... looking at your question again now that I am a bit rested, yes it's just a stock "body" textarea field using the "full html" filter.

I don't understand comment #6. What's wrong with using a standard text field for a text body field that uses Drupal's "plain text" format -- i.e. the one that converts newline characters to HTML and does nothing else? How hard would it be to differentiate Enter-key recognition based on the textfield attached to the field in question (i.e. multiline or not?)
