Tried to delete a user from my forums, it seems the text has been changed, the line break seems to have issues:

I’m not sure if this is just me, please let me know if you’re able to reproduce.

I’ve just checked on my test site and the text is wrapping normally. I am a few commits behind so have just kicked off an upgrade to make sure. In the meantime, does this also happen in safe-mode for you?

**Update:** Testing the one on the admin page does show the raw `<br><br>`:

I can also assure you that I have the exact same behaviour on safe-mode.

Sounds like a bug and that the template loading that field needs to use html-safe.
