Description

Problem: Typing the \n sequence in text blocks such as dialog and message nodes causes the '\n' to disappear making editing difficult. Trying to backspace, delete or insert text near these hidden characters causes unwanted problems as the cursor does not line up with where the editing is taking place. Please watch the video to see what I'm talking about.
