String length validation and windows line breaks

Hey all,

Recenty, probably after moving to Wicket 6.16, we see some strange behavior
for TextAreas.

We have been using a JavaScript library to limit the number of characters a
user can enter in a textbox for years. Now we started getting validation
exceptions on the server that the user entered a too many characters. It
turned out that Wicket counts Windows '\r\n' as two characters, while JS
counts them as one.

We can easily fix that with a custom StringConverter that replaces Windows
linebreaks, but I was wondering if there were some recent changes in Wicket
that could have triggered these issues?

Cheers,

Thomas
