Multiline description is cut off

[UrbanCMC]

Describe the bug When writing a commit with a multiline description, anything after the first linebreak is cut off and not included in the created commit.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Stage a changed file
2. Create a new commit with c
3. Write a commit message
4. Press Tab, write multiple lines of commit description, using Enter to create linebreaks
5. Press Tab to go back to commit message
6. Press Enter to create commit
7. Look at created commit in the Commits panel

Expected behavior The created commit should have multiple lines of description. In the example below, the expected output would be:

Example message

Example description
spanning multiple
lines

That's odd, cannot reproduce it.

Could you post your config.yml and gitconfig? Or try it without the config.yml to rule that out.

[UrbanCMC]

Removing the config.yml didn't change anything. My gitconfig (combining both local and global):

Interestingly, I noticed that multiline descriptions work fine when I reword an existing commit. Not sure what could be different there.

This was a windows-specific issue that is now fixed on master

[jesseduffield]

Can you confirm the fix @UrbanCMC ?

[UrbanCMC]

Yes, it works just fine with the current master branch. Thank you for your work!
