Description Peter Lam 2008-11-22 01:04:19 UTC 
Transferred from https://nbpython.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=26

It's really cool to see the docstring (__doc__, first string in a method/class)
of an item in the autocompletion panel, however, the documentation should
respect the line breaks.

Currently the documentation looks unwrapped.

This is merely a decorative issue.

Currently (v0.100) only two line breaks (an empty line) is detected as a line
break. Single line breaks are not.

Not sure what the problem is. Closing this bug for now.

Thanks for your evaluation Julien. Reporter, if you think your issue is still valid and needs to be addressed, don't hesitate to reopen it with additional information. Closing for now.
