SUMMARY
The Create New Folder dialog does not accurately show what the name of the file
is actually going to be.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Copy some text that contains a newline.
2. In dolphin, create a new folder with this text as the name.

OBSERVED RESULT
In the Create New Folder dialog, the newline is replaced with a space. However,
in the normal view of dolphin, the newline is replaced with a symbolic "return"
character.

EXPECTED RESULT
For the Create New Folder dialog to accurately show what the name of the file
is actually going to be.

I'm not sure whether dolphin has figured out whether it deems newlines in
filenames to be acceptable, and I don't really have an opinion on that. My user
experience for this is that I wanted to remove the newline and replace it with
a space, and that appeared to be done automatically in the Create New Folder
dialog. However, that was not the case and it was a misleading UI interaction.
