For DRAWSTYLE_TRANSPARENT_TEXT, can you add support for new lines please. For example "This\nText\nHere" would show

This
Text
Here

When drawn. It would be really great. Thanks.

Any help here? Multi lines are supported as tool objects. Would like to support them in DRAWSTYLE_TRANSPARENT_TEXT, as that is much faster drawing them and uses less resources than tool objects.

Please just implement this. It's not that difficult from a programming perspective. I am a programmer and I would know.

It has been two months and you said this will be out "in a few days". Can't you respond about this? Or have you dropped the ball?

Actually, it doesn't work completely. You guys took the short cut. For example

If I do this
  X.TextDrawStyleText = "AAA\n\n\n\n";
Then AAA gets pushed up with blank lines below it. This is correct
  
However this doesn't work properly
X.TextDrawStyleText = "\n\n\n\nAAA";
In this case AAA does not get pushed down and there are no blank lines above it.... The newlines are totally ignored here.

Please fix this. I know you guys have lots to do, but this should have been implemented properly so that newlines are not ignored if they happen before the text.

Please address this, don't ignore it. I really need this feature. On all other platforms new lines are not ignored. This should be a 5 min fix for you guys.
