TextArea output Formatting

I have a readonly TextArea that I write to.When it is set as readonly the String "/n" formatting seems to disappear. If it is read-write the formatting works fine.Has anyone come across this problem?

Can you use a StaticText component instead? Uncheck the escape property. Then you can replace the \n in the text with a <br> and it will display properly.
