display.newText ignores newlines

Can’t get newlines working in objects created by display.newText(). Tried every newline combo I can think of (mainly \n) and it just ignores them. [import]uid: 7467 topic_id: 2533 reply_id: 302533[/import]

newText is just for 1 line text. [import]uid: 5712 topic_id: 2533 reply_id: 7312[/import]

If there is not a non-hack method of getting multiline text that goes properly with painters view system, then I’d say it qualifies as a bug. [import]uid: 7467 topic_id: 2533 reply_id: 7694[/import]

Nope, it still not qualifies as a bug. That function works like designed. What you need is not in Corona. It is a missing feature and so should be requested in the “feature request” forum or even better on the issue tracker. [import]uid: 5712 topic_id: 2533 reply_id: 7703[/import]
