Missing characters when pasting survey questions

[clifrjohnson]

When pasting in question information into the Multilingual tool I found that a single character is being removed in certain places if the text is preceded by CRLF's. For instance, if you were to post in text such as:

@p1000lang{"Spanish":" Test.

La test2.

Asegúrese test3."}

The "L" and the "A" were both captured on the second and third lines due to the code on line 175 of the multilingual_setup.js file,
questions = JSON.parse(tags[id].replace('p1000lang','').replace(/\n([^@])/g, "<br>"));

Changing the code to match the other instances with the replace having the "
$1" as on lines 161 and 275 will resolve the issue, however, I just want to make sure that this code is not trying to prevent something that I have not encountered yet.

Additionally, if the intent is to remove new line characters shouldn't the regex be greedy,
.replace(/\n+([^@])/g, "<br>$1"));

I not 100% sure if it's on purpose or not. I will take a look when I have a minute. I do know if you put a <br> tag in the field annontation (with or without the multilingual module enabled), REDCap replaces it with a carriage return. It's possible that it has something to do with the data dictionary, so if you do test it, take a look at the data dictionary after your changes and see if it gets uploaded or not. I'll try and take a look this week.

I have the same issue. When saving Hello<br><br>world as my first question, then I go back editing this field, it shows Hello<br><br>orld. Looks like $1 is fixing the issue, but I don't know why.
