Semantic Forms (or the responsible extension for fields) adds a space as the first character of a textarea field. Therefore when I try to start a bullet list in the field, the first bullet is not being interpreted properly. E.g., my markup ends up like this: <nowiki> <td> *I can't prevent the initial space so the first bullet does not work <ul><li>the second one is fine</li></ul> </td> </nowiki> To avoid breaking lists, the initial space should only be added if the textarea is empty.
After a private discussion, this turned out not to be a bug at all.
The error was in the form. The textarea field must start in column 1 of a new line, e.g.: '''My label:''' {{{field|Summary|input type=textarea|cols=60}}}
I doubt that - it's the newline in the template, not the form, that should affect things.
Correct, my mistake. Template code should be formated as follows: ! Mylabel | {{{Myfield|}}}
