  Formerly, the browser display would not provide an indication
  when a line in a text area got too long. Furthermore, automatic
  line wrapping made it impossible to visually distinguish line
  breaks in the input data. Long lines would only be detected
  when the message was validated on the server.
  

Problem conclusion

• Now, the browser checks for line lengths when the cursor
  leaves a text area, or when F1 is pressed. An error description
  with a text snippet indicates where a line has to be split.
  Where possible, the data entered in text areas is also checked
  for invalid characters. Error descriptions can be hidden by
  pressing Shift-F1 or the Escape key in the text area for which
  an error is indicated. On Internet Explorer, however, pressing
  the Escape key will also clear all input data from the text
  area. Automatic line wrapping is now disabled, except for
  field 77F in FIN MT 105 (EDIFACT Envelope). The latter is an
  exceedingly long single-line field. As before, it will be
  shown in the browser as a multi-line text area with automatic
  line wrapping.
