(v118g) I just came across this feature while doing some small test imports from Ecco and wondering why my multi-line items were all jammed together into one line. Indeed I had wordwrap off and turning it on restored the multiple lines. 

I'm not sure I'm convinced that turning off wordwrap should cause it to ignore the soft line breaks.  But if it does, I would suggest displaying the soft break as a space when putting it on one line.  This would allow

1. top item line

    cat

    dog

    horse

to be displayed as:  1. top item line cat dog horse

instead of:  1. top item linecatdoghorse

But perhaps that would break something like search.

This is an issue for me regardless of word wrap status, maybe because my imports are older and Pierre has fixed something in the import routine since then.

Have to paste offending items into an editor (I use Notepad++) and replace each VT ('vertical tab') special character with \r\n, then paste back into IQ...

Pierre, would it be possible to treat VT also as a soft break when importing from Ecco?

Hi Pierre

The soft breaks are indeed imported (using v118g), but when wordwrap is off, the separate lines are displayed on the same row.  Unfortunately there is no whitespace between them where the soft break was, so sometimes it's a bit confusing to read.

For example:

1. Item text

first additional line

second additional line

turns into:   1. Item textfirst additional linesecond additional line

I suggest adding a blank where the soft break was to make it more readable: 1. Item text first additional line second additional line

LeftEccoForIQ had a separate problem where it sounds like the VT they were using instead of soft breaks weren't being treated as soft breaks.  But maybe I misunderstood the issue.

Actually, it's not an Ecco import issue, but a wordwrap issue.  The same thing happens if I just enter multiple lines in IQ with soft breaks.
