Summary textContent returns "\n" for a <br> or a '\n' even if it is collapsed

When the last character in a text input field is deleted, a <br> placeholder is inserted.  The problem is that textContent returns "\n" for a <br> even if it's collapsed.  In HTMLInputElement:setValueFromRenderer(), value = "\n" and constrainValue(value) = "". See Bug 9358 for the original issue (an assertion failure).

textContent also returns '\n' for a '\n' even if it is collapsed. Renaming.

I believe the behavior of textContent is correct, and it's the client that has a problem. I believe this bug report may be INVALID.

Resolving this per comment 2 as INVALID as without a test case proving otherwise it seems highly unlikely that textContent has a bug.
