Description

Problem

In OpenCut, it is currently impossible to make multiline text, or text with multiple consecutive spaces, though it is a feature of almost every other video editor on the market.

Solution

The text processor should see line breaks and multiple spaces in a row like other video editing software.

Alternative

I don't think there are any alternatives to the functionality of multiline text, it simply is necessary. The only other choice is to put multiple text objects at the same time, but supporting multiline text is simply more convenient.

Anything else?
