I have problem with multiline hint (TToolButton.Hint).

I use Strings Editor Dialog:

Design Time:

Save Project
Ctrl+S

Run Time:

Save
Project

OK. I tried.

Design Time:

Save Project | Ctrl+S

Run Time:

Save Project

Finally I tried:

Design Time:

Save Project [Ctrl+S]

Run Time:

Save Project [Ctrl+S]

Yes, only this works well.

I use Lazarus 64 - bit, Qt 4.7.1, Linux, 0.9.31 Snapshot: 29006
Would I post bugreport for this? Is there some trick? Is there some
special function for pipe | ? Can you confirm this on other platforms?

Thanks.

Your explanation of problem is bit confusing. What's exact problem ?
Multiline hints works ok here with qtlcl (qt-4.7.1).

OK. I gave three examples. Design time = what I write to Strings
Editor Dialog. RunTime = what I see in compiled application.
Unfortunelly I cannot screenshot that hints, I can only screenshot 
Strings Editor Dialog.

In my application, with TTollButton.Hint:

1-st example:
I write to Strings Editor Dialog two lines:

Save Project
Ctrl+S

(... see screenshot)
but in compiled application, when I have mouse pointer over that
ToolButton I can see only:

Save
Project

(Ctrl+S is ignored and line is broken incorrectly)

2-nd example:
I write to Strings Editor Dialog one line:

Save Project | Ctrl+S

but in compiled application, when I have mouse pointer over that
ToolButton I can see only:

Save Project

("pipe" and Ctrl+S is ignored)

3-rd example works well as I mentioned before

I hope it is more clear now.

Thanks

Indeed it's problem under qt. With gtk2 works fine...maybe latest
patches for line feeds  in TQtMemoStrings caused this strange
behaviour.

Please, open an issue about it.

NEWS: It's an qt-4.7.1 BUG ! With qt-4.6.3 it works fine.
