The new line is stripped when loading the TW, and not when saving.

Firefox and Firebug show that a file with the following <pre> in a tiddler in the store:

<pre>
This is on the second line</pre>

renders as:

<pre>This is on the second line</pre>

Internet Explorer, has the same problem.

Fix for dropped leading and trailing new lines.

The attached patch has been tested in FF2 and IE6 and solves this problem. The approach is to escape the first and last line break in the tiddler text, if present, when saving. Similarly, when loading the tiddler text, the same line breaks are unescaped if present.

Testing on IE7 and Safari is welcomed.
