UserDicts Maintain Newlines

I have been using quote marks to keep newlines in sqlite databases like:

"start

end"

Pleco doesn't seem to keep the newlines in when importing entries leaving me with definitions that just read as:

"start

with everything else cut off.

I'm sure there must be a setting I'm over looking

Sorry, it should support those in 4.0 - are you importing this as a text file? Could you send me a copy? For various reasons we had to write our own code for import text file parsing, and while we've tested it on a whole lot of different files it's still a little new / glitchy.
 
I have attached a single entry txt example that I just tried testing in 4.0.

((Has "browse entries" also now been removed from the manage dicts settings?) - re-thinking this now - I guess the correct way to do this now is to select the dictionary from landing screen and browse it that way.)

It looks the entire entry becomes blank after importing, even despite the raw text displaying correctly. Here it seems to be showing a single "ghost" entry:

Here is what the import preview looked like:

Looks parsed correctly in the preview.

Could you send me a backup of this user dictionary database? I'm not able to reproduce the problem importing the card here.
