The carriage returns get stripped when saved to the file. It is annoying for sure.
Yes, but what I mean is if this quirky behavior is easily fixable, it's still useful even though carriage returns don't get saved with the patch. Currently, <enter> is mainly used in a msg box after typing a semicolon, and when the patch gets loaded a cr is added after the semicolon. So if a new line would be started after the user types <enter> (instead of after the *next* character is entered) it would look like Pd is doing the right thing in 90% of the cases where you use a carriage return in a msg box.
Oh, something related to cr's: it's currently difficult to click the right spot in multi-line comments in pd-ext:

This isn't a problem in current version of pd-vanilla.
