Description
In Windows File Explorer the comment field is a textarea that allows you to write multiple lines using shift + enter.

In Files this field only displays a single line input with only the text from the first line. The other lines are completely missing.

My use case for this is when I'm downloading media with yt-dlp I have it automatically save a small, slightly formatted JSON into the comment field. When I want to use this data I have to go back to File Explorer to access it.
Steps To Reproduce
- Open an image file in File Explorer and find the "Comment" field in file properties.
- Enter multiple lines of text into the comment field using shift + enter.
- Press enter & click apply to save the data.
- Open the same image's properties in Files.
- Click on the same "Comment" field.
- See missing lines. Try ctrl + A => Windows + V to see it only copied the first line.
