Description:
Notepad only recognizes new lines if they have both the CR and LF, and MySQL Workbench appears to only use LF.

How to repeat:
Copy multi-line text from the SQL Editor in MySQL Workbench to Notepad.

Suggested fix:
As it's unlikely Microsoft will be changing this, either use the standard CR+LF for the Windows version of MySQL Workbench, or include a setting to let the end-user decide which to use.

Notepad is the only editor (out of virtually a million that exist) which cannot cope with LF only line breaks. There are so many free and good editors (e.g. Notepad++). Why don't you use one of them and do yourself a favour?

Implementing a feature just for a single tool outside of the actual app is a waste of resources.
