When I have a translated string that contains a \n linebreak and I place the cursor before the \n and press Delete, only the \ is deleted; the n and the following linebreak are still there.

The whole sequence \n<linebreak> should be treated as a single character and deleted together.

Ideally, the \n wouldn't be part of user-editable content at all, and a ¶ typographical mark would be used instead as non-editable "decoration". I think that should be the focus rather than trying to further patch editing behavior to deal with the patched weird stuff like \n added by Poedit.
