Description Thomas Reitelbach 2004-01-02 18:16:38 UTC

Version:           3.0 (using KDE 3.1.94 (CVS >= 20031206), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.1
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.6.0

I just placed some technical documentation into a knotes window.
These technical documentation contained a backslash followed by "n" (\n) which is a symbol for newline.
Unfortunately knotes interpretes this combination of characters.

I closed the note.
then i quit knotes and restart it.
now i open the note which i just wrote a few minutes ago and the \n has disappeared, instead i have one more line in between.

this is the text that i put into a note (without surrounding quotes), you can reproduce the problem with it:
"Geschätzte Kompilierzeit:              \n
Ungefähr benötigter Festplattenplatz:  "

Hopefully this can be fixed soon.
Have a happy new year :-)
Thomas

CVS commit by brade: 

fixed #71685: again a libical bug, it did not encode '\' at all so it was
possible to write control sequences in KNotes, e.g. \n.

Also some non-voluntary trailing whitespace removal (blame kate :)
