Attachment: testcase-error.html

STR:
1. Load the attached file.
2. Click on the error so that it gets displayed on the side panel.
3. Click on the stack property to copy it.
4. Paste it somewhere.

=> See the new lines were eaten.

Bonus points if we can see the new lines directly in the object viewer.

Note: this happens both in Nightly and Stable, so it's not related to the work on the new console.

Yeah, we are still using the variables view for an object viewer in both old and new console.  The plan is to ultimately replace it with the newer Object Inspector used in debugger.html so objects can be expanded inline (Bug 1308566).  Once that's done I believe the variables view can be removed.
