I am having a hard time understanding the problem here 😆

[rohit9625]

The issue can also be seen if we paste

`Hello`
`Hello`
`Hello`

The gap between the first two texts is too small.

@maddylewis, @alitoshmatov Whoops! This issue is 2 days overdue. Let's get this updated quick!

[melvin-bot]

@alitoshmatov Eep! 4 days overdue now. Issues have feelings too...

[maddylewis]

@alitoshmatov - what are your thoughts on this one? should we keep this open and seek out proposals? let me know if you have any additional insight!

[melvin-bot]

📣 It's been a week! Do we have any satisfactory proposals yet? Do we need to adjust the bounty for this issue? 💸

[melvin-bot]

@maddylewis, @alitoshmatov 6 days overdue. This is scarier than being forced to listen to Vogon poetry!

[melvin-bot]

@maddylewis @alitoshmatov this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to approving a proposal? If not, what's blocking us from getting this issue assigned? Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

[maddylewis]

@alitoshmatov - what are your thoughts on this one? should we keep this open and seek out proposals? let me know if you have any additional insight!

Hi! Jakub from Callstack here - I would like to work on this issue.
Which result is expected here the android or the mWeb ?

[kubabutkiewicz]

So I dig a bit into that and it seems that what is displayed on mweb its what browsers are doing by default which is when there is a <br/> tag its creating a line break and a bit of space under each element so I think this is what is expected as its a web standard, I am now checking the native implementation why its different.

[maddylewis]

Assigned you, @kubabutkiewicz !
