        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2

According to the specs, the placeholder should be shown after having been
stripped from line breaks [1]. At the moment, WebKit doesn't look to do that.

A simple test:
<input placeholder="first part&#10 &#13second part"/>
You should see "first part second part" instead of "first part".

[1] "User agents should present this hint to the user, after having stripped
line breaks from it, when the element's value is the empty string and the
control is not focused (e.g. by displaying it inside a blank unfocused
control).", see $URL
