Description Miwako Tokugawa CLA 2010-05-14 12:33:30 EDT 
Build Identifier: Any

It seems that I can only use a single-line string in the "name" parameter (If I specify, say, "line1\nline2". Also a longer single-line string is truncated. Could you support longer/multi-line strings?

Reproducible: Always

I presume you're talking about the 'Progress' view, yes?

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
