Problem summary

• The use of white space characters (i.e. \n, \t, etc.) for the
  purpose of formatting in Coach configuration options were not
  being respected.
  
  USER AFFECTED:
  Business Process Manager Advanced, Standard and Express.
  
  PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
  In an effort to ensure we never emit semantically incorrect
  JavaScript, we escape problematic characters during generation
  of coach configuration options. FVT flushed out scenarios which
  forced us down the route of escaping.  The issue was that once
  we escaped configuration option values, items like \n and \t
  that were intentional by the user, were being escaped.
  Therefore, \n became \\n, which did not have the desired effect.
  

Problem conclusion

• The issue has been resolved. The fix was to preserve option
  escaping, but to special case harmless whitespace.  The issue is
  fixed in all subsequent and future releases.
