Notes on activities loose all white-space

We just hit the 100 note limit on deals, so I was looking into using activities instead, but found that the white-space / new lines that I use in my notes without issue do not work on activities. They are all stripped away into one line.

Is this intentional? Is there any way to preserve white-space / newlines in notes on activities?

It was a pain point for me too. HTML tags will work with activities. I ran a find and replace method to convert newlines to HTML <br> tags and intentional white space to &nbsp;
