Merged — thanks. One small follow-up if you do another touch in this area: the regression test could be tightened to pin the rule shape, e.g. |

Summary
Preserve multiline formatting for user message bubbles in the desktop and dashboard chat UI, so text sent with line breaks continues to display as multiple lines after submission.
Problem
When users send multiline messages, the message content itself is preserved, but the rendered user bubble collapses whitespace because the
.msg-textstyle does not preserve line breaks. As a result, newlines are rendered as spaces and multiline user input appears as a single line.The issue is in the desktop/dashboard message rendering path:
