Description Andre Saibel CLA 2014-01-17 05:47:41 EST 
The UNICODE character \u2029 (PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR) causes a new line instead of (simply) separate paragraphs within a string meant to be a single line text.

It's the same with SWT 4.4, also with java 6 and 7.

The behaviour on Windows platforms is correct.

A simple SWT apllication

Run this code snippet and see a single line on Windows and three lines on Linux/GTK

Still reproducible on SWT master from today, GTK3.24, and Fedora 29.

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. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. 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.

Triaged?!?
This way of dealing with reported issues is a reason for me to refrain from SWT in future projects. There are other more great graphics frameworks out there.
