EESchema - enter in the text box is represented by a question mark on MSW

Sometimes it is beneficial to use add text tool for revision notes, memos etc. So it doesn't look like a wall of text, it is natural to add some paragraphs. Now every time you hit enter in the text tool it shows as a question mark.

This doesn't reproduce on OSX. Anyone else seeing it on MSW (or GTK)?

[Wayne Stambaugh (stambaughw)]

I happens on windows. It's not the text in the text properties dialog, its the text that gets inserted into the schematic editor.

[Jeff Young (jeyjey)]

Yeah, that doesn't reproduce on OSX either. Must be a line-endings issue.

[Jeff Young (jeyjey)]

I'm going to set the EOL mode to wxSTC_EOL_LF (which seems much more likely to be correct than wxSTC_EOL_CR). But of course I can't test it....

[Jeff Young (jeyjey)]

(Note: I'm presuming this is MWS-only as GTK uses single-character line endings.)
