[Laszlo-dev] LPP-8477, font changes when switching from single line to multiline in IE7

[P T Withington]

I don't follow.  setMultiline copies _all_ of the div styles over:

         lz.embed.__setAttr(newdiv, 'style', olddiv.style.cssText);

(in addition to the scroll position).  So, something else is going  
wrong...
