      (from user s09855027@hotmail.com)
      I noticed that the Realm Studio for Windows has a critical issue with not recognizing newlines, and I’m hoping this problem can be fixed since it significantly affects the data that’s being kept in the realm file. 

      For example, if I copy and paste the following block of text into a cell of a .realm file on MacOS, it is written into the .realm file properly as it is shown below.

      This is an example: this is the first line of text.
      This is the second line of text.
      This is the third line.
      

      However, if I copy the above text and paste it into a .realm file on Windows, the block of text will be written as the following. All the newlines are gone. This not only applies to “writing” into the realm file, but as well as “reading” from the file. For example, if I copy pasted the block of text above into a .realm file using MacOS, then open the same .realm file on Windows and “select all” on that same cell, then copy paste the entire cell’s content out into a text editor, I also get the result below, a single line with all newlines removed.

      This is an example:

      This is the first line of text.This is the second line of text.This is the third line.
      

      This seems like quite a crucial issue that will cause development teams who work across both MacOS and Windows to lose their data’s accurate format while editing on both system
