QPlainTextEdit multi-line placeholdertext is cut off

XMLWordPrintable

      QPlainTextEdit::setPlaceholderText seems to only work with one line strings ... multi-line placeholder text is not rendered properly.

      How to reproduce

      Run following application:

      #include <QApplication>
#include <QPlainTextEdit>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);

    QPlainTextEdit editor;
    editor.setPlaceholderText("Hello\nWorld\n!");
    editor.show();
    return a.exec();
}

      At least for Windows and Linux, only 'Hello' will be rendered properly (see screenshot).
