Well, each place has a different best solution, I think. 
 
In the overall address viewer (with the scrolling window with the names of all the records), just 
show up to the first new line. So if I have 3 records, Andy, Brian\nmy brother, and Chris, the list 
would just show 
 
Andy 
Brian 
Chris 
 
The idea being that anything on the second line is secondary, and doesn't need to be listed. 
 
But when the record titled Brian is selected, the address info would show 
 
Brian 
my brother 
 
Right now the [] is shown in the listing, but the return is stripped in the Address Info. 
 
The other place is in the individual address listing (after double-clicking a record). Here is a bit 
trickier. Would it be possible to have multi-line fields that only show a single line? Or only 
expanding when a field has more than one line. Then another question is what to do when the 
user hits return. Not sure otherwise. Perhaps as a short-term solution, at least show the 
unprintable char box. Is it possible to have a single-line, scrolling multi-line input field?
