When traditional markdown linebreaks are enabled, i.e. single line breaks are not significant, this is not reflected in the preview window in the composer. That is, text entered as

```plaintext
This is some text
with a line break

```

is shown in the preview as

> This is some text  
> with a line break

but when actually posted results in

> This is some text with a line break

as expected.

I had that happen with code earlier too, and I kept looking over it multiple times wondering what I was doing wrong.

Ah yes this is a legit bug, we should respect the site setting in the preview.

FYI: I just verified it and it’s fixed with our newest markdown engine 😉
