Line break bug pasting reference list into Edit Biblical Term dialog

Question

When I add a new term or phrase to Biblical Terms, one of the things to fill in is a list of references (one per line) where the term occurs, so:

Now, let’s suppose I generate such a list outside of Paratext, like so (Notepad++):

Now I select the list and paste it into the reference list in the Edit Biblical Term dialog and I get:

Why is this? Because the tool does not accept a simple new line (\n), as in the example above, nor a simple carriage break (\r). It requires a carriage break + new line (\r\n) sequence, in that specific order! Thus:

When I paste this into the dialog, I get the required line breaks.

I’m posting this for two reasons:

1. If someone else runs into this problem, here’s the solution.
2. At some point it might be useful for the developers to tweak this so that standard line breaks are accepted in the dialog.

Note that copying from a Paratext-generated reference list works just fine. But sometimes one might want to copy from a self-created reference list. In this case, I was creating a list in Logos of all the places that the Hebrew word עֶבֶד is translated as ‘(court) official’. There’s no way to generate such a list in Paratext, as far as I know.

您也可以設定 Notepad++ 的偏好設定，使用 CR-LF 作為換行符。

在「設定」（Settings）>「偏好設定」（Preferences）>「新文件」（new document）中，您可以指定 Windows 型換行符，這樣任何新文件將具有 Paratext 可識別的換行符。

太棒了。謝謝 sewhite。我以為一定有辦法做到這一點，但我自己沒能想出來。
