Steps to reproduce
Create a file “README.md” with the following contents:
Line one
Line two
Line three
Open “README.md” in Obsidian.
Observe the output.
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]
Y
Expected result
The three lines should be rendered as a single wrapped paragraph, with line breaks in the Markdown source ignored:
Line one Line two Line three
Actual result
Line breaks in the paragraph are displayed, as if each line ended with two spaces:
Line one
Line two
Line three
I see this behavior in the Windows, Linux, and Android apps.

Additional information
Obsidian is one of several Markdown viewers with a similar bug.
I’ve created a Git repo with more details (the README.md file from the repo exhibits the bug).
Since I can’t include links, see the “markdown-linewrap” repo in the “Keith-S-Thompson” account on GitHub.
