Description

Double-clicking a value in the document editor sometimes modifies the data.

1. Create a new document.
2. Add a field and enter "one\ntwo\nthree" (including the double quotes) as the value, click the tick. Should see three lines of text displayed.
3. Double-click the value to edit. Three lines collapse into one and "\n" are replaced with a single space!
4. Click green tick without making any changes. "\n" have been discarded.
