Description

Steps to recreate:
Create or open a task
Write a description or comment, including line breaks (hard line breaks)
Save the description or comment
View the Task

Result:
The line breaks in the description/comment are removed and all lines are run together making it hard to view formatted or configured information

Expected:
The line breaks are respected and the text is viewable as written

Notes:

When created a 'list' the UI does respect the line breaks between each list item!
When opening the comment/description for editing, the line breaks are still present, so they are preserved, just not presented in the UI when not editing.

Vikunja Frontend Version

0.21.0+119-c4adcf4655

Vikunja API Version

v0.21.0+63-093b5b99a0

Browser and version

Tested in Chrome 118 and Firefox 117 - occurs in both

This will go away once we have the new editor.
