I am having some difficulties editing with Google Chome. The browser adds extra spaces with many edits and is unable to add lines to the middle of infoboxes (when you hit the enter key it just moves you to the bottom of the infobox code). I am not sure if this is a chrome problem or a wiki problem. I do wish to get a chrome book but unless this can be addressed it will just cause me frustration.

Where/how/when does this happen? Can you point to specific parts of specific pages on specific wikis that exhibit this problem when you edit them? What version of Chrome, on what operating system? Do you have any custom settings, JS or gadgets set up that might change editing behavior? Does it happen only when editing with your account, or also when anonymous or with a fresh account?

More specifically, do you have WikiEditor enabled? If so, disable all of the WikiEditor features/modules (see $wgWikiEditorModules or $wgWikiEditorFeatures , depending on your version) except for 'toolbar', 'dialogs' and, if available in your version, 'hidesig'.
