I accidentally used the wrong-sided slash when trying to write the Newline (Line Feed) escape character, in C.
When trying to replace it in gedit:
I get this outcome:
Clearly gedit (version 3.18.3, running on my Ubuntu 16.04) is treating the New Line escape character as an excuse to actually spit out a new line.
Is this a known bug? It's an edge case, and I probably would have never even thought about it if I could write an escape character properly, but still - it made me curious as to what can be done to solve it.
I've tried parentheses, commas, one quotemark, two quotemarks.... no cigar.
The code itself is just an overly-tedious switch
