Empty lines disappear in the abstract field

beogl
Dear Zotero,

When I move away from the "Abstract" field the empty lines there disappear from the display. When I move back to the "Abstract" field they are there again.

This is very disturbing since this makes the abstracts very hard to read and therefore it wastes a lot of time.

Why are you doing this to me? ;-)
You know I am very fond of you!

    I agree that abstracts need to allow better formatting, particularly, as you describe, for paragraphs.

    I think this will come with planned (yet not currently actively developed) rich-text display for both Title and Abstract fields. Can't say how long that will take though.

    This is a bug, though — and maybe a regression in some version of Firefox? Hard to believe we never noticed this. Fix forthcoming.

    Fixed in the latest 4.0 Branch dev XPI. The fix will appear in 4.0.17.

    Thanks aurimas and Dan! The bug has been there for very long and I have just waited for it to get fixed, because it is so very visible... ;-)

    4.0.17 just arrived and indeed it fixed the bug. Many thanks.

    But there is the same problem with the web interface. Empty lines disappears in the abstract here:
