Oh, sorry, thanks for the reminder :) the user wrote:

Thank you very much for your concerning.

Well, i wonder if that functionality was ever there on purpose. May be it was
there by accident. Anyway, it helped me a lot since i used it on most of my
project. (I am almost done now).
I want to clarify that, as I remember, the multi line help texts, i created
before, were always seen in help text field as one line, but i could see the
'ENTER' symbol at the points where the lines were broken in popup help windows.

Comment 1 at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141107 says
clearly that he used a debian.

I tried the functionality first on Leap 15.1 with LO Version: 6.4.5.2
Build ID: 40(Build:2)
CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 4.12; UI render: default; VCL: x11; 
Nothing worked. Not even CtlShift+u. The whole text copied, not only the first
line, but all the lines were joined to one with no space between them. It was a
mostly not configured OS just for testing so...

I tried on Windows 7 with Version: 7.1.0.3 (x86) / LibreOffice Community
CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 6.1 Service Pack 1 ; UI 
Same behavior. All lines joined to one.

Lastly, i tried it on my Linux debian 4.19.0-10-686-pae #1 SMP Debian
4.19.132-1 (codename buster i think) at work. LO  6.3.2.1  1:6.3.2~rc1-1
Again, all lines joined to one. At least there, I could split them by
CtlShift+u 000A, as i can do both on my tumblweed laptop and desktop at home.
An interesting thing, on my last check on debian, was that i could see my multi
line help texts and the 'ENTER' symbols (the Form and multiline help text was
created on Tumblweed at home), but when i tried to copy paste them from field
to field, the 'ENTER' symbol disappeared and help text was <<converted>> to one
line text. I had to manually enter the CtlShift+u 000A again to fix the
problem.
