Linden Labs has decided that they know better when you want a newline in your hovering text. If your hoveing text is over x characters (I haven't checked to see what x actually is) it automatically breaks it up for you. Personally I would prefer the option to choose when *I* wnat a newline in my text.
Another problem, it seems that if you have a pre-existing hovering text that has a newline character in it (\n) it will still work but you get a pipe character (|) at the very end of the text.
Well thats 3 issues I came up with, I'm sure I'll be back in the morning when I actually try to do something constructive.......

X chars...

Somewhere around 50 characters is when it decides to insert a new line for you. Just tested this (to a degree) and 50 seems about right. Also note that it won't break a line in the middle of a word.
On another note, the pipe character problem is the new "fix" for the pre-1.6 text problem of repeating last lines. This only seems to appear when the object goes 'out of scope'.

I believe the Linden response in the Hotline forum is that this line breaking thing is a bug.
