This is a million to one...but...has anyone solved a similar problem?
I am using a USB magnetic stripe reader with a tablet PC (which is a likely culprit), trying to get the strings into an infopath form. It works fine in Notepad, but infopath gets the first of three lines and thereafter a mangled mess...and if I continue swiping, infopath keeps seeing something different every time. Quite bizarre; these readers are quite simple things that basically emulate a keyboard...
