Details:

The following results in the text being displayed all on one line instead of
multiple lines, as expected:


hf = figure;
set(hf,'Units','normalized');
hp = uipanel('Title','Text panel','Units','normalized','Position',[0.05 0.05
0.9 0.9],'Parent',hf);
he = uicontrol('Style','edit','String','','Units','normalized','Position',[0.1
0.1 0.4 0.4],'Parent',hp,'BackgroundColor','y','Max',10,'Min',1);
str = {'line 1';'line 2';'line 3'};
set(he,'String',str);
he2 =
uicontrol('Style','edit','String','','Units','normalized','Position',[0.1 0.55
0.4 0.4],'Parent',hp,'BackgroundColor','g','Max',10,'Min',1);
str2 = ['line 1';'line 2';'line 3'];
set(he,'String',str);


When using a cell array of strings, it displays everything onto one line and
when using a string matrix, it doesn't display anything at all (see attached
screenshot).

This is with Octave 3.6.2 and the Qt graphics toolkit.
