New Android App: Multi-Line item text?

Since updating to the new Android app V 2.0 from 17.12.2017, I have a problem with multi-line items.
Before, I could use something like

Switch    Wall_Plug               "Schaltbare Steckdose1 \n(Wohnzimmer) [%s]"
Number    Shutter1_Power          "Rollo Küchentür \nLeistung [%.1f W]"

And it showed in 2 lines in the Android App (but 1 line in Basic and Classic UI).
Now this is always 1 line, eventually cutting it and showing “…”, making items hard to differentiate.

How can I name items so that the whole text is shown?

Please check if the issue was submitted here already. If not, it would be worth to create an issue.
I think @mueller-ma was involved in that enhancement.

Cheers

I think it was this issue:
https://github.com/openhab/openhab.android/pull/436

But anyhow, I am not sure if the \n syntax is fully supported - it worked until now, but is not documented here.
Or, how do I generate multi-line item text?

HI Micha -
You are linking to the PR (code change) that may or may not have caused what may or may not be a defect. (I am not sure it was every supported or it just worked). But if you think it is a defect (doesn’t work now) then i would recommend you open a new issue at the link from @kubawolanin above so that the team who works on the app can be aware and further discussion can take place on if it should be supported.

Done:

Further research showed that in the WebUIs, the \n is simply skipped and does not lead to multiline items either.
