newline doesn't work in LabelField

Question

I'm very confused. I've created a global variable:

public LabelField title2 = new LabelField("", 
    LabelField.ELLIPSIS | DrawStyle.HCENTER| LabelField.USE_ALL_WIDTH |
    Field.FIELD_VCENTER | LabelField.USE_ALL_HEIGHT);

...

title2.setText("blablablablablabla\nblablabalba");

But when i'm trying to show this text on device's display i see only one line instead of two.

but if i'm using

add(new LabelField("Line1\nLine2"));

it works properly. Does anyone have a solution?

Answer 1

Can you try skipping LabelField.ELLIPSIS to see if that makes any difference?

Answer 2

\n NEWLINE characters are not supported in LabelFields on OS 4.5.

They are supported in OS 5.0.

I do not have 4.6 & 4.7 environments setup on my machine to test with.
