The subtitle has \n which is what is breaking it.

I'm not sure we want to support that use case to be honest

Copying some IRC

[17:47:30] <tsdgeos> Saviq: basically subtitles with \n are cut
[17:47:38] <tsdgeos> it's something we want to support?
[17:48:36] <Saviq> tsdgeos, no
[17:49:08] <Saviq> tsdgeos, so we should sanitize on input?
[17:49:17] <Saviq> and s/\n//
[17:49:25] <tsdgeos> Saviq: but then it'll look crap (i.e. not as they want)
[17:49:51] <Saviq> tsdgeos, we don't support multi-line subtitles, per design
[17:50:03] <Saviq> tsdgeos, do we not have a maximumLineCount: 1 there? we should
[17:51:49] <tsdgeos> Saviq: we don't
[17:52:07] <tsdgeos> Saviq: adding it "fixes" it
[17:52:16] <tsdgeos> not sure cwayne_ et al will be happy with the fix :D
[17:52:23] <Saviq> well, that's the design
