Can you define “correctly”? Would you expect tabs to grow to twice 
the height? And the same for file browser rows? Or would you want 
TextMate to render the newline with a glyph?

Looking at how the system handles this, it does not :)

For example after `touch $'foo\nbar.txt'` this is what I see in Finder:

![](cid:D8839931-45AB-4084-BA12-33016F8071AA at textmate.org 
"PastedImage.png")

And this is how it shows in TextEdit’s title bar:

![](cid:4DA665C2-4E7E-415C-B896-C78BF5F06D24 at textmate.org 
"PastedImage.png")

For the records TextMate uses `NSFileManager`’s `displayNameAtPath:` 
to obtain the display name which does things like replace `:` with `/`, 
hide extension, localize the display name, etc.

I think it would be more appropriate to report this to Apple and request 
the `displayNameAtPath:` also handle newlines.
