Thread:Project:Support desk/Line breaks gone after upgrade/reply (8)

I am also interested in comments about this issue.

Line breaks are preserved in the source of the wiki page, and they are visible in the source HTML of the page, but they are rendered as HTML line breaks instead of being translated into forced line breaks by the parser.

An interesting note is that mediawiki.org and wikipedia.org don't seem affected by this issue. See : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Line_break_handling

It really looks like a bug, or at best, a regression.
