You did not provide any useful information helping to resolve your problem. So, I can only give you a couple ideas.
After some thinking, I can to suggestion that in your text area you actually never had any line breaks. What seemed as line breaks for you could be just word wrapping of the text. The lines you saw as separate lines were actually, in terms of data, just parts of the same single line/paragraph.
To understand how line break works, please see:

^].
Pay attention that the end-of-line string, is, unfortunately, system-dependent.
