It seems like none of the screen readers with the possible exception of
Window-Eyes handles lines in our SWT Styled edit widget correctly. Would a soft
return work? The following is supposed to be in Unicode. From Wikipedia:
The Unicode character set provides a line separator character as well as a
paragraph separator to represent the semantics of the soft return and hard
return.
0x2028 LINE SEPARATOR * may be used to represent this semantic unambiguously
0x2029 PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR * may be used to represent this semantic
unambiguously
