Verified in the latest release (RN 0.57.0)

Description

When passing a string that terminates in a newline ${'\n'} to a Text component, the number of rendered lines will be one greater than the numberOfLines attribute applied when the string is not truncated due to length.

Reproducible Demo

Some View:

import {Text} from 'react-native'

...

render( ) {
    return (
        <Text numberOfLines={1}>
            {`Line One ${'\n'}`}
        </Text>
    )
}

I was able to temporarily work around this issue by passing a non-breaking space character after the newline:

{`${detail}${'\n\u00A0'}`}

I am closing this issue because it does not contain the necessary environment info, and there has been no followup in a while.
