\n printing literally

[t-kalinowski]

Hello,

This is a recent change in behavior.

With an older version of tibble:

tibble(x = "abc\ndef")
# A tibble: 1 x 1
         x
     <chr>
1 abc\ndef

now:

tibble::tibble(x = "abc\ndef")
# A tibble: 1 x 1
        x
    <chr>
1 abc
def

Now that new line characters are printed literally, it throws off the printing of entire tables. eg:

tibble::tibble(x = rep_len("abc\ndef", 10))
# A tibble: 10 x 1
         x
     <chr>
 1 abc
def
 2 abc
def
 3 abc
def
 4 abc
def
 5 abc
def
 6 abc
def
 7 abc
def
 8 abc
def
 9 abc
def
10 abc
def

(sorry, accidentally posted too early with keyboard shortcut earlier)

Thanks. Reprex:

tibble::tibble(a = "a\nb")
#> # A tibble: 1 x 1
#>       a
#>   <chr>
#> 1   a
#> b
