I use

qsTr(" sopdk apdapo dapodk aspod ad\n" + "ssdkopaksdopakdp ksopdak opdad\n" + "aiojdaios daoisd jaoidu aoidi adoia dj" )

Let me know if someone uses other solutions

This is in regards to Qt5. As far as I can tell, this behavior is present on 5.12 and 5.15.

As far as concrete examples and mimal examples, the snippet I provided above should suffice. Literally copy/paste that at the top of any QML file, and reformat and the extra lines will be added.

Thank you for linking those bug reports. They are all related to Qt6 and report as fixed. Seems like qmlformat was just improved considerably in Qt6. Guess I'm just out of luck for Qt5. Perhaps I'll do as they say and try building a static Qt6 formatter from source and using that on Qt5...

Hi @JustASimpleCoder, I received a quick response from Qt staff, it seems that Qt6.2 version of qmlformat contains what we need! :)
