KiKit icon indicating copy to clipboard operation
KiKit copied to clipboard

Multi line text collapsed to one line

Open ebuswell opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Prerequisites

  • [X] I have read FAQ
  • [X] I use the KiKit at least 1.0.4 (older version are not supported)

KiKit version

1.0.5

KiCAD version

6.0.5-0

Operating system

MacOS 11.6.7

Description

Multi line text will show up with newlines converted to "n". For example "Multiple\nlines" (where "\n" is entered by hitting the return key in the gui) becomes "Multiplenlines" in the panelized board. Only workaround I see is to either place each line separately in the source board, or to go through each line on the panelized board and add back in the newlines.

Steps to Reproduce

In the source board, select the text tool and a silkscreen layer and click somewhere. In the text entry window, enter text in multiple lines by hitting the return key between lines. Use this board as the source for a panelize operation. You end up with newlines replaced by "n".

This is already fixed in the upstream version and it will be part of the v1.1 release.
