Description
It looks like the strip filter is intended to ignore textarea tags when removing whitespace. Unfortunately it's looking for a simple textarea element with no attributes. On (at least) 5.2.1 the textareas for message boards and wikis have attributes like id, name and style.
So the filter is stripping whitespace from text areas when editing a wiki page or message board post. I'm filing this bug as major because it means that out of the box editing a wiki is extremely frustrating for end users because line breaks get removed.
Workaround is to disable strip filter.

Disabling the strip filter causes certain portlets to never appear to have finished loading in Firefox 3 and Google Chrome; the little loading animation never disappears. In particular, the search portlet and rss portlets (although the rss portlet didn't break for me right away).
I don't know if I should file a bug for this one too?
Anyhow, the above-mentioned workaround is no longer valid, making this particular issue all the more important.
