Request For Comments - New lines in Grid Editor

Tools RIDE

We need your opinion about the change request at PR 2249.

With this change it is possible to insert newlines in cell content, and see it nicely on Grid Editor in navigation mode.
For example:

But when editing the cells, we don’t see the \n and if adding newlines with \n or Alt-Enter, they will be translated to real newlines in both Navigation mode and Edit mode, see:

When we see in Text Editor, the \n are there like they should:

  1. Would this behavior fine as it is (\n translated to real newlines in Grid Editor)?
  2. Should this behavior be changed to keep \n visible when editing in Grid Editor?

Created a Poll at Slack #ride channel.

I could not reproduce your problem. Tried with both dark and light themes.

Tried with RIDE 2.0b1 in Python 3.7 with both wxPython 4.0.7.post2 and 4.1.0.

MacOS with latest update.

@nixuewei Maybe you should post what are the versions you used.
