Note that this reintroduces part of the patch for #2689, which I had to
revert since it caused a worse problem (#3136) than the one it solved.
(I haven't checked whether the same issue applies now to your patch, but
you should.)

Thanks for bringing that to my attention.  My patch doesn=E2=80=99t cause 3=
136,
because it doesn=E2=80=99t really solve the problem.  It just works around =
it by
using "\n\n" to mean "\n".

It does make things a little weird because there is a difference between
when it starts out as a newline and when it=E2=80=99s changed to a newline.=
  That
is, with my patch, if you customize white `whitespace-display-mappings=E2=
=80=99,
you=E2=80=99ll see it displayed as "\n\n".  If you change it to (say) "d" i=
t
will be displayed as "d\n".  It saves 'd' fine, but if you customize it
again it will display as "d".  Changing this to "\n" will cause it to
display as "\n" and it will save "\n".  Customizing again will show "\n\n"
again.

But given that the alternative causes #3136, maybe it=E2=80=99s not so bad.

It turns out this is due to one of the characters being a newline.
There are two problems.  First, the validation regex doesn't match a
newline.  This is easily addressed with the following patch:

diff --git a/lisp/wid-edit.el b/lisp/wid-edit.el
index d0410aa..55e8ac7 100644
--- a/lisp/wid-edit.el
+++ b/lisp/wid-edit.el

   :error "This field should contain a single character"
   :value-get (lambda (w) (widget-field-value-get w t))
   :value-to-internal (lambda (_widget value)


Second, a string consisting of only a newline is returned as an empty
string from `widget-field-value-get' even with `no-truncate' non-nil.  I
have worked around this, but I suspect it's a suboptimal solution.  It
seems like the special handling of newlines is probably intended, so a
"proper" solution might be tricky.

Any pointers as to a better fix (or if this is sufficient) and/or how to
write a test for this would be much appreciated.
