I'm having a similar problem to the one described here.

It happened when submitting a new story. When the text in Description field contains the character 'n', the n is converted into a newline character \n, causing the text is break up.

Here's the code from editlink.php I think is causing the problem. After publishing the story I can go back to edit it, replace the 'n', take out the linebreaks and then submit, and everything's back to normal.

			$linkres->category=$_POST['category'];
			if($linkres->title != strip_tags(trim($_POST['title']))){
				$linkres->title = strip_tags(trim($_POST['title']));
				$linkres->title_url = makeUrlFriendly($linkres->title);
			}
			$linkres->content = strip_tags(trim($_POST['bodytext']), Story_Content_Tags_To_Allow);
			$linkres->tags = tags_normalize_string(strip_tags(trim($_POST['tags'])));
         if($_POST['summarytext'] == ""){
		$linkres->link_summary = utf8_substr(strip_tags(trim($_POST['bodytext']), Story_Content_Tags_To_Allow), 0, StorySummary_ContentTruncate - 1);
		$linkres->link_summary = str_replace("\n", "<br />", $linkres->link_summary);				
                // added
		$linkres->link_summary = str_replace("\\r\\n", "<br />", $linkres->link_summary);// +			
	} else {
		$linkres->link_summary = $db->escape($_POST['summarytext']);
		$linkres->link_summary = strip_tags(trim($linkres->link_summary), Story_Content_Tags_To_Allow);
        	$linkres->link_summary = str_replace("\n", "<br />", $linkres->link_summary);
                // added
		$linkres->link_summary = str_replace("\\r\\n", "<br />", $linkres->link_summary);// +		
		if(strlen($linkres->link_summary) > StorySummary_ContentTruncate){
				loghack('SubmitAStory-SummaryGreaterThanLimit', 'username: ' . $_POST["username"].'|email: '.$_POST["email"], true);
				$linkres->link_summary = utf8_substr($linkres->link_summary, 0, StorySummary_ContentTruncate - 1);
					$linkres->link_summary = str_replace("\n", "<br />", $linkres->link_summary);
			}
	}

Any help appreciated.
