Unity Panel showing newlines

[David Gomes]

When programs have titles with newlines, the Unity Top Panel displays them.

As an example, when running this Python program (http://paste.ubuntu.com/685465/ which requires package python-wxgtk2.8).

1. Run the file in the pastebin with python
3. The Unity Panel displays a newline after "Unity"

When the frame is minimized, instead of the line, it displays "...".

Attached is a screenshot.

Personally, I'm not sure of what should happen, but I decided to report the bug anyways.

EDIT
On the Launcher, if I hover the icon of this program I also get a newline, but this is good.

no design input needed,

I added design because someone has to decide what happens when a newline character is found on a title. Should it ignore it, show three dots, keep it as it is right now, or do something else.

There are many possibilities and I thought it was up to the Design Team to decide stuff like this.

Either way, you have more experience on this, and I trust you know what to do in this situations.

FWIW, this also works in the datetime indicator if you use a custom format with a newline.

Hello,
as part of the bug clean up ahead of 16.04 LTS I'm marking this as invalid because it affects an Ubuntu release which is now unsupported. If you can still recreate this bug in a supported release please do open a new bug and we can triage it for consideration in the 16.04 LTS development cycle.
