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:


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


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.
