-------------------------------------------------+--------------------------
 I attached a testing shapefile where some of the records have a newline.
 Then v.db.select gives:

 {{{
 cat|LABEL|LABEL2
 1|Newline at the end
 |xx
 2|Newline
 In the middle|xx
 3|No newline here|xx
 }}}

 This can't be parsed correctly and as a result Attribute manager fails
 with inconsistent number of attributes. It's not just problem of GUI, this
 will affect any parsing in a user script for example. One possibility
 would be to use different format, for example JSON.
