<li>open code</li>
<li>in a new file type "hello<br>
world" (hello [new line]world)</li>
<li>edit -&gt; find<br>

</ol>
<p dir="auto">nothing is found but there is a new line character in the text file</p>
<p dir="auto">The Find dialog (Ctrl+F) does not allow multi-line finds using the <code class="notranslate">\n</code> character as it currently considers each line individually.
