Tool tip for evaluating variable while debugging does not respect \n in strings
and prints them in single line.

Comment 3 Vitezslav Stejskal 2007-04-16 02:59:43 UTC 
The problem here is that the tooltip text does not fit on the screen. However, I
do not think that \n or any other control characters in string values should be
interpreted in a special way. They are just characters in a string and you are
interested in knowing that they are there, so they should not be used for
display formatting.
Comment 4 Roman Ondruska 2007-07-16 16:01:44 UTC 
Tooltip UI must be specified for such case.
Comment 5 Martin Entlicher 2008-11-18 16:07:24 UTC 
Already fixed in NetBeans 6.5.
