Empty "textarea" loses its closing tag after conversion from XML to HTML in Internet Explorer 11

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

When you convert the text for an empty textarea field from XML to HTML, the closing tag is removed. For example, you have the following XML text:

<textarea id=123></textarea>

After you convert it to HTML, you have the following:

<textarea id=123 />
Although this solo tag-style is correct for XML, it isn't allowed for HTML.
