Comment:

Just for clarification, since I found the wiki on inscription= somewhat ambiguous, I've looked into whether iD is using \n as two characters in the tag (backslash, then n), or actual linebreaks (U+000A, one byte), and it's the latter. ​https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/10326 confirms that.

I've updated the ticket description accordingly and removed my initial "I'm not sure whether it's one or two characters".

    initial v5  
    1 I was adding `operator:wikidata` tags to some nodes (e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/12344145506). These nodes have an `inscription=` tag created by iD that's using `\n` in its value to signify line breaks. According to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:inscription, this is a valid usage.

These nodes have an `inscription=` tag created by iD that's using `\n` (literal newline characters, `U+000A`, displayed as `\n` if you're using the textbox tag editor), in its value to signify line breaks.

    3 However, after uploading the changes via JOSM (changeset https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/159245848), the inscriptions all lost their `\n` linebreaks. I'm not exactly sure whether JOSM converted them to actual newline characters (instead of a backslash followed by an `n`) or replaced them with spaces. In any case, it should not do that, especially not in a totally silent way when my edit didn't even change the tag value at all. I'm glad that I saw this happening and was able to revert it; pretty sure that not everyone would.

    55Adding the status report manually because the "Report bug" button would send me to Debian's bug tracker, but I don't assume this is Debian-specific behavior. Let me know if you need more information, and thanks for looking into this.
