BUG

The conversion of fields of type lines and ulines is different when the field is empty.
1)lines
def field2lines(v):
    if isinstance(v, (ListType, TupleType)):
        result=[]
        for item in v:
            result.append(str(item))
        return result
    return field2text(v).splitlines()
2)ulines
class field2ulines(_unicode_converter):
    def convert_unicode(self,v):
        return field2utext.convert_unicode(v).split('\n')
field2ulines = field2ulines()

SOLUTION

in ulines, change :
field2utext.convert_unicode(v).split('\n')
to:
field2utext.convert_unicode(v).splitlines()
