How to get the whole text from text edit QT

Question

I am trying to get the text from a text edit and store it in a QString .

When I write this

QString text = ui->textEdit->toPlainText();

it only reads the text before the first '\n' So how can I get the whole text with '\n's in it.

This is being called from a slot like this: -

void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked() 
{ 
    QString text = ui->textEdit->toPlainText(); 
    ui->label_2->setText(text); 
}

What is the text in your text edit? Does "line1\nline2" work? — vahancho, Oct 17 '13 at 13:06
Is the label high enough, or allowed to expand vertically? If you print the `text` to the console or a file, is it also truncated? — Angew is no longer proud of SO, Oct 17 '13 at 13:10

Turning my comment into an answer

Make sure that the label is high enough to actually display multi-line text.
