Can't confirm your issue. the return in the text is well applied on 2.8.2
(osgeo), windows 8 32bits.

Indeed, there's an issue. Tested widely and these are my conclusions :
- if the return and the wrap character are in the same string, the return
is not taken into account, it becomes a simple space;
- if the wrap character appears before the return, even in a separate
string, the return is not taken into account, it becomes a simple space.
- Only returns written before a wrap character, in a separate string, are
applied.

Hoping that helps.
