It seems there's no browser equivalent to your proposed behavior, either. `pre-line` does not preserve spaces, but your proposal does; it merely doesn't preserve end-of-line spaces. While that might be a sensible default behavior, I'm not sure about the "invisible input" behavior that you'd get if you entered spaces at the end of a line. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/1236#issuecomment-1785873665
