Description

SDK: 5.4.0.v20160426000033 When setting the text property of a Ti.UI.label object to something containing '\n' to represent new line, the '\n' is printed in the UI instead of inserting a new line.

    Hello, I am unable to reproduce this issue. When setting the text property of a Ti.UI.label a new line is printed for \n rather than '\n'. Sample String: "A long label with\n a few line breaks\n and unicode (UTF8)\n symbols such as\n a white chess piece \u2655\nand the euro symbol \u20ac\nlooks like this!\n'" [Screenshot| https://i.imgsafe.org/903d5b7.png] *app.js:* 
       var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
     backgroundColor: 'white',
     exitOnClose: true,
     fullscreen: false,
     layout: 'vertical',
     title: 'Label Demo'
   });
   
   var label = Ti.UI.createLabel({
     color:'blue',
     text: 'A long label with\n a few line breaks\n and unicode (UTF8)\n symbols such as\n a white chess piece \u2655\nand the euro symbol \u20ac\nlooks like this!\n',
     textAlign: Ti.UI.TEXT_ALIGNMENT_LEFT,
     top: 30,
     width: 300, height: 200
   });
   
   win.add(label);
   win.open();

    My text is set via the i18n stings.xml, like this: 
       <string name="EulaTitle">The app will use your phone position to determine your country location.\nPlease review and accept the Privacy Policy.</string>
    and then in my .js: 
       $.upperTitle.text = L('EulaTitle');

    Hello, I am able to reproduce this issue when the string is defined in strings.xml file. So it seems that the issue is not related to Label but with localized string values. *Steps:* 1. Create a default classic project for windows phone. 2. Replace app.js file code with following. 
       var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
     backgroundColor: 'white',
     exitOnClose: true,
     fullscreen: false,
     layout: 'vertical',
     title: 'Label Demo'
   });
   
   var label = Ti.UI.createLabel({
     color:'blue',
     text: L('TestText'),
     textAlign: Ti.UI.TEXT_ALIGNMENT_LEFT,
     top: 30,
     width: 300, height: 200
   });
   
   win.add(label);
   win.open();
    3. Create strings.xml file in the folder "i18n\en". 4. Replace content of strings.xml file with following. 
       <resources>
   	<string name="TestText">A long label with\n a few line breaks\n and unicode (UTF8)\n symbols such as\n a white chess piece \u2655\nand the euro symbol \u20ac\nlooks like this!\n</string>
   </resources>
    5. Build and run the app on Windows device. >> It is seen in the label that newline is not printed in case of '\n' rather \n is printed. [Screenshot| https://i.imgsafe.org/8160c00.png]. Thanks *Environment*: *OS :Microsoft Windows 8.1 Enterprise N *Device info:* Microsoft Lumia 640 (Windows Phone 8.1) *Node.js Version:* 0.12.7 *npm Version:* 2.11.3 *Titanium SDKs:* 5.4.0.v20160429102159 *Java Development Kit Version:* 1.8.0_73 *Titanium CLI Version:* 5.0.5 *Appcelerator CLI Version:* 5.2.2 *Appcelerator Studio:* 4.5.0

    Verified using: Windows 10 Pro Ti SDK: 5.4.0.v20160629063537 Appc NPM: 4.2.7-2 Appc CLI: 5.4.0-23 Appc Studio: 4.7.0.201606220541 Lumia 930: 10.0 Lumia 520: 8.1 Using the example attached the string displayed now matches what is shown on iOS. Closing ticket.
