Describe the bug

When you enter a newline character
inside a table field or anywhere really, the Notes preview (not the rich text editor) doesn't render the new line properly. The text shows up all on one line.

Expected behavior

The notes preview should render the new line as it does in the rich text editor.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the Notes preview with a newline inside a table field and in ordinary note text, then trace the preview rendering path. Done means line breaks appear in the preview as they do in the rich text editor, including within table cells, with regression coverage for the reported cases.
