Hi Alexandr,
Label, JTextField, JLabel:
On All platforms, replace the new line character by space character.
TextField:
On Linux And MacOSX, replace the new line character by space character.
But only on Windows, TextField terminated string after new line
character.
The behavior was corrected for Windows, to replace EOL by space
character with bug fix https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8055197
Thanks,
Ambarish

Subject: Re: <AWT Dev> Should TextField Documentation be updated ?
What is behavior of text controls on different OSes (Windows, Linux, Mac OS
X)?
Is new line character is replaced to to a space, preserved, or the text is
truncated?
Thanks,
Alexandr.

Hi,
If the input string contains new line character, then TextField replaces it

This is not documented at java docs,
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/index.html?java/awt/TextField.html
Could you please provide views on whether to update the
awt.TextField documentation with above behavior ?
Some more information:
