This has already been raised in #7134, however no one volunteered a fix. If you'd like to own that bug I'd be happy to reopen and assign it to you.

The comment field does not display transitions to the next line, this leads to incorrect display of information.

This behavior is prescribed by the Markdown specification. (Use two trailing spaces to force a line break.)
