Hi, My app save Text in [Parse.com](http://Parse.com) and when the text contains a breakline I save it in Parse but I Encode the “\n”. The problem is when I GET this text, I decode the “\n” but when I show this Text in a Text element the breakline appear like “?”.

Its posible that the text in a Text element contains breaklines?

Thanks!

I’m not entirely sure I understand the question. Are you saying the problem only happens when the string has made a round-trip to [Parse.com](http://Parse.com)? If so, I spect that it’s an encoding problem.

If it also happens without doing the round-trip, my best guess would be that the Text element isn’t set to multi-line mode: [https://www.fusetools.com/developers/api/fuse/controls/text/ismultiline](https://www.fusetools.com/developers/api/fuse/controls/text/ismultiline)

Thanks! Sorry I dont know that The Text Element also have the Multiline option! Do you know if there any way to solve this: (last post of these thread [https://www.fusetools.com/developers/forums/bug\_reports/textinput\_multiline\_error?page=1#post-e1d263a7-f643-467a-9c2e-c62947aabb81](https://www.fusetools.com/developers/forums/bug_reports/textinput_multiline_error?page=1#post-e1d263a7-f643-467a-9c2e-c62947aabb81))
