How are they different?

What does "some of the text dumps are different platforms" mean?

Why don’t we just delete all input and select elements or simply wrap them in div and set innerHTML on that?

Why is the text dump for these form controls different on different platforms? This seems a fine workaround for that problem, but is it something we could easily fix in the form control code?

Missing words here. I think you mean "are different on different platforms".

Yeah, sorry, I was being overly lazy. Looking closer, I was confused about what was going on. The issue is that there was line wrapping on some platforms due to differently sized form controls, which lead to a different number of spaces in the innerText output.

An alternate workaround for this test would have been to put a <br> after each form control.

In fact, I like the explicit break solution better since we don't then have to do something different for being in the test runner. I'll commit a followup patch with that change. Thanks for calling me out on this.
