Does this site look broken?. Use the LitterTray web for test cases.
When you use a textarea field and enter multiple lines the table breaks once it is saved. e.g.)

%EDITTABLE{format="textarea, 3x10"}%
| foo |
| bar |

Here's a bit of a hack I made to fix this, but I'm sure it can probably be done in a nicer manner.

It basically replaces linefeeds with
when saved and when editing the table the
is replaced with the linefeeds again to make it convenient for the user.

Thanks Jeff, I took the patch in almost verbatim. Seems to work fine.
