P: Issue adding line-wrap to text using identity plate in Print module

This request pertains to Lightroom 3.4.1...In the Print module to add text, I click the "Identity Plate" and start typing my text...the problem comes when I want to skip a line or wrap to the next line. In Scott Kelby's book "Lightroom 3", page 340, paragraph titled "Step One" it says to ."...press Alt-Enter twice to move down two lines." This is for a PC. For MAC it says "...press Option-Return" I contacted NAPP about this and they say it is a bug that Adobe needs to fix for PC users (apparently it does work for MAC users but not for PC users). Can you please fix this or tell me if there is a work-around to the problem. I really need to add more than one line of text when printing my images using Lightroom3. Thank you.

cfransw, The original bug referenced here is in regard to use of multi-line on the identity plate - not in the text information appearing in the contact sheet. This thread will be marked solved. Our team has logged a separate bug to work on your similar issue.

1 any picture will do. 

2 Print Module choose Single Image / Contact Sheet

3 Photo Info choose File Name +Exif : you will see file name on first line and exif on 2nd line

4 Then save as a new template the Exif line dissappears.

5 if you check for ex. Keep square (or uncheck) exif line reappears.

6 while you see both lines they print fine.

7 When in print module you start with this new created print plate you will only see one line.

8 redo point 5 and you will see both.

6.12 I still see the same issue. Contactsheet : I have to hit  a function "keep square" or another setting change to see the 2 lines. If i hit save the changes the 2 lines disappear. When the 2 lines are visible they print, when they are not they don't print.

Added note:
Since PC support still is second to MAC, PC users should look seriously at On1 Software's On1 Photo Raw. It is and excellent editor and catalog application. They support both PC and MAC.
