2. Create a new thread.
3. In the thread's message, separate each line with a return. For example:

 

A
B
C
D

 

Expected Behavior: WYSIWYG. The line breaks remain between A, B, C, and D.

Actual Behavior: The line breaks disappear, the message displays ABCD on one line.

 This issue is not reproducible in Firefox.

• Firefox automatically appends both <p> AND <br> tags when using the enter key. Edge and Chrome only add the <p> tags and therefore are affected by the issue.
