the correct sanitization for a multiline string is 'sanitize_textarea_field'

I have a problem, when I put it to use 2 times I get error

Make sure the themeslug_textarea_setting_id is unique for every setting you add

i have used it, but there is a problem, when i write css code inside textarea, it does not update in realtime on preview pane, instead refreshing is needed to view changes. Further, i have also used th postMessage method for transport.
