Description

Some user added many "/n" to his "long name", which causes display problems on every app.
Shouldn't these special control characters be filtered?

Relevant log output

No response

I would have to allow them to work as line breaks on iOS

The issue you're seeing has nothing to do with /n (which is just two normal characters and not a special escape sequence)

I tried reproducing by setting the name using several variations via the python cli with no impact on how the nodes table rendered.

[garthvh]

They are newlines

You can easily replicate this with
meshtastic --set-owner '''tbeamer Line1
Line2
Line3'''

[Cisien]

\n is a new line, /n is two regular ascii characters
and yes, i can replicate this on my nodes (images in the discord channel)

@thebentern I think we need to replace \n with a space

[Cisien]

may want to do the same with other characters. \t for example does some "interesting" things

in the IOS app it just looks like extra spaces

--set-owner "Cisien $(echo -e '\t\t')Rak"
