Description

When compiling the results in the Message pane are all in one line because the newline characters get lost or are filtered. Sometimes I want to have a look at the messages but they are not easy to the eye. I'd like to see some newlines being kept.

Environment
  • TeXstudio: 2.12.16
  • Qt: 5.12.1
  • OS: Windows 7 x64 (Running out of time! I need to upgrade!)
  • TeX distribution: miktex 2.9
  • Compiler: xelatex
Expected behaviour

Have an output similar to the one I get from Windows Command Line e.g. like this:

stdin -> main.pdf
[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
[15 xdvipdfmx:warning: << /Rotate 90 >> found. (Not supported yet) ]
[16 xdvipdfmx:warning: << /Rotate 90 >> found. (Not supported yet) ]
[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]

xdvipdfmx:warning: PDF destination "glo:auto3cfrd-g" not defined.
xdvipdfmx:warning: PDF destination "glo:3pard-g" not defined.
xdvipdfmx:warning: PDF destination "Hfootnote.1" not defined.
xdvipdfmx:warning: PDF destination "Hfootnote.2" not defined.
xdvipdfmx:warning: PDF destination "Hfootnote.3" not defined.
xdvipdfmx:warning: PDF destination "Hfootnote.4" not defined.
xdvipdfmx:warning: PDF destination "glo:prpd-g" not defined.
xdvipdfmx:warning: PDF destination "glo:3ptrd-g" not defined.
xdvipdfmx:warning: PDF destination "glo:hvdc" not defined.

How to reproduce

Just compile something with some warnings. I have to admit I didn't test it on another machine.
