What is the problem?

When voting on a wish or focus area, I can add a comment. The comment field supports multi-line input. However, if my comment does have a newline, when someone else votes on the wish afterwards, my vote is removed.

Also, the Wish page does not seem to recognise that I have voted. I still see the "Support wish" button and I don't see the "Edit comment" or "Remove support" buttons. Doing "Support vote" again will replace my current vote.

Steps to reproduce problem

1. Login to https://meta.wikimedia.beta.wmcloud.org
2. Find a wish (e.g. https://meta.wikimedia.beta.wmcloud.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist/W10)
3. Click "Support wish"
4. In the "Optional comment" input, enter several lines of text and submit
5. Notice that the "Support wish" button is still there
6. Login as another user and vote on the same wish
7. Notice that the vote from your first user is removed
