So I am sending a dynamic multi-line textField text to a database. Upon receiving it back, it doesn’t display it in multi-line format properly. I am also using htmlText, so it stores it all the font / size /etc in the database perfectly.

This code shows you the textField attibutes, both the text I create and send to MYSQL, and the text I get back also calls upon these exact attributes

```auto
      TF.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
                TF.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
	        TF.useRichTextClipboard = true;
                TF.background = false;
                TF.border = true;
		TF.multiline = true;
		TF.alwaysShowSelection = true;
		TF.backgroundColor = 0xFFFFFF;
		TF.doubleClickEnabled = true;

```

I tried

```auto
TF.wordWrap = true

```

when I called upon the text from the database. It at least made it multi-line, but it messed it up a bunch also. My text is only 3 lines, but with wordWrap, it made it 8 and made it look off.

Anyway, the text / font / color and everything comes in perfectly, except for the multi-line part.

Any ideas?
