(Resent -- the first try didn't post)

I submitted a patch in bug 589787 to implement an up/down scroll for register transaction Notes or Description fields (possibly any text field) that have LF (0x0a)characters in the text.  Multiple byte characters (UTF-8) cause Notes to remain at single lines.

Restrictions:
1. Insert text with multiple lines by creating it in a text editor.  Then copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V or Shift-Ins) to the transaction Notes field.  Also copy and paste text with LF characters between Notes fields.  (Return, and Ctrl-J aka LF characters were appropriated for other purposes)
2. Move with left/right arrows in the text, and to successive lines.  Up/down arrows move between splits and transactions, as before.
3. Mouse clicks tend to move to random text locations, except on the first line.  (I'd rather track down native CSV import bugs, at present.)
