Axis Label: Newline?

After learning the trick of adding a newline to an entry in a table ....
https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Enter-quot-NewLine-quot/m-p/620984/highlight/true#M82015 

this week I'm wondering: what is the official way to add a newline to an axis label?

 

What doesn't work:
click on the label to edit it, and press Enter,  Shift + Enter, Alt + Enter, Ctrl + Enter, Shift + Ctrl + Enter

These variants just close the edit mode:

Also: pasting a newline (the trick for entries in a table) doesn't work

Re: Axis Label: Newline?

A workaround which I used up to now:

First reduce the graph size, then 

click on the label to edit it, press Enter *), press delete

*)This time it doesn't closes the edit mode - but adds a newline.
Actually: it "adds" 2 Newlines - therefore one has to press delete to delete one of the two Newlines.
In the video it looks like going forth and back:
The "2ndLine" gets shifted out of the edit box & comes back.


To finish, 

- click somewhere with the mouse to exit edit mode (... as pressing Enter would add another newline

- adjust the size of the graph and enjoy the magically added Newline.
