multi-line trigger fires in wintin++ with cygwin but not tt++ in wsl?

[chasdabigone]

hello, I have created an action to capture multiple lines.
#action {^Object '%1' is infused with your magic...\n%a\n\n%*\Z} {#line ignore #show %0}

This action will capture the lines when I use it in wintin, but when I try to use it on Linux WSL it doesn't work. I've tried simpler ones as well but it seems that when I add '\n' to the string it will no longer fire on linux (e.g. #action {^Object '%1' is infused with your magic...\n} does not fire). What am I doing wrong? It doesn't make sense to me why it would work on one but not the other.

The string I am trying capture looks like this:

Object 'a rat tail' is infused with your magic... 
It is a level 35 armor, weight 1. 
Locations it can be worn: ankle 
Special properties: none 
This armor has a gold value of 100. 
Armor class is 10 of 10.

The problem was apt-get installed an older version of TT++
