New Bug Encountered: Line breaks are again not being honored in display of LongText fields

When displaying LongText entered (or constructed) data, the line breaks are not being retained. Viewing the LongText data in the sheet and view the field in a Form confirms the line breaks are indeed there.

Clarification: Inside a CARD view only; detail views are working for me.

Instead of being made of pixels like a regular image type, they are made from vectors, rays, circles, paths, etc so you can make the image as large (or small) as you need and the device wil…

Did we ever get anywhere with this? Seems to still be an issue.

The only thing I would add is that it works if the card view is displayed as an inline view within a detail view
