To back up my claim of altering the behaviour of the Form Designer...
Many applications and protocols on the internet also use a single
consistent EOL character to minimize this issue.

"Most textual Internet protocols (including HTTP, SMTP, FTP, IRC and
many others) mandate the use of ASCII CR+LF (0x0D 0x0A) on the protocol
level, but recommend that tolerant applications recognize lone LF as well."

So I recommend that the Form Designer standardizes on the CRLF character
as the EOL character.
