Multiline string logging with variablesReference

[roblourens]

Using OutputEvent with a variablesReference, multiline logs aren't supported anymore.

Especially a problem when I need to print a stack from an exception or console.trace()

Maybe not straightforward to fix since variables are always 1-line everywhere else?

I think those \n are going into the console height calculation though -

I think we fixed this last minute prior to 1.8 release. Anywasy works for me now
We might fix how we hande new line and output events so we should still keep this in mind as a good test case

In my original example I was using variableReference, but if you try that now, it won't be because I changed it to not use variableReference when logging only text. I still see this if I include an object like in my second comment:

Works for me.
My steps:

1. insiders, mac, node2 debug session stopped
2. in repl: console.log('a\nb', {a : 1})

Please try with latest or give me your exact steps

It does work now, maybe it was fixed by the fix for #17404. Thanks
