Both the multi-line and line-break made the size allocation very 
complicated, so that's why it was removed. Another issue is for example 
2 rows + line-break, will that result in 4 rows or 2+1... I never was 
completely happy with the line-break and think that multi-row has more 
purpose, unfortunate for you.
