Error description

• Customer uses RQM4.0.3+RFT 8.5.1.2 to test Java's web
  application.
  They need to logging some messages to the log files and they use
  API logInfo method for it
  
  In the script, they add the below scripts using StringBuilder
  class and print the message
  to the log using logInfo():
  
  log.append('??? ?????? ?????? ?????? ?????? ????????? ??? ??????
    ??? ??????  ???  ??? ??????  ??? ??????  ???  ???  ');
                                                        log.append
  (', ');                                               log.append
  ('\n');                                               log.append
  ('???  ??? ??????  ??? ????????? ?????? ?????? ??? ??????  ??? ?
  ?????  ??????????????? ???  ???  ???  '); log.append(', ');
                                            log.append('\n');
  
  
                                            logInfo(log.toString()
  );
                                            (similar to something
  like:                                     log.append('Action: Ch
  eckup Input Value');                      log.append(', ');
                                            log.append('\n');
                                            log.append('Checkup Su
  mmary: Value verification');              log.append(',');
                                            log.append('\n');
  
                                            logInfo(log.toString()
  );                                        )
  
                                            When running the scrip
  t in RFT, \n works as expected, new line  is added properly in t
  he log file.                              When running the scrip
  t in RQM, \n becomes a hankaku(1 byte)    space and all messages
   print to the log in one line.
