I'll check whether I can somehow get GTK to draw something nicer for a line break in a single-line-input field. Allthough I'd prefer (eventually) to have an auto-expanding multi-line input in the editor at that place. There is exactly one "right" way of visually representing line breaks… as line break.

Replying to epruesse:

NACK. When you only want to display one line (for whatever reasons, e.g. in 
display) and you have linebreaks in the data you'd like to display, it's definitely annoying if the line gets broken and you need to filter out LFs to avoid that.

Replying to epruesse:
All strings support linefeeds. Clients have to use the proper kind of textinput (either a fields or a box).
Motif shows linefeeds in inputfields with a special characters, in inputboxes it displays the string in multiple lines.
