I'd like to chip in, after having bugged the notify-osd people about this issue. Newlines in the title are stripped, but not in the body. However, multiple consecutive newlines in the body will be merged together. Here's the snippet from wiki.ubuntu.com: ====================== Body text The body should be 0.9 × the standard application font size, of color #eaeaea, standard weight, and should not contain any extra formatting. In the body text, any string of one or more consecutive whitespace characters that contains at least one newline (U+000D CARRIAGE RETURN (CR), U+000A LINE FEED (LF), or U+000D CARRIAGE RETURN (CR) immediately followed by U+000A LINE FEED (LF)), even if a mixture of those, should be treated as a single newline. Then for each line in the text, any string of one or more consecutive (non-newline) whitespace characters, even if a mixture of them, should be treated as a single space, and leading and trailing whitespace should not be presented. ====================== Something worth noting is that the notify-osd that's in Jaunty works fine, and the one that's in Karmic currently also works fine. Just the notify-osd's in between Jaunty and Karmic's release. I think the bug should be marked invalid. It was notify-osd's fault to begin with. -- Kind regards, Chow Loong Jin
