Description
glossary-plain and glossary-plain-no-dictionary fields in the Anki flashcard configuration menu now output every character from the glossary fields instead of just the definitions.

Using the example 読む popup in the Anki menu, these fields used to just output the definitions plainly like:

to read
to recite (e.g. a sutra)
to chant
to predict
to guess
to forecast
to read (someone's thoughts)
to see (e.g. into someone's heart)
to divine...

Now today, I have gone to create new cards and the output is now including all this extra stuff which now requires manual intervention to clean up.

I don't know if this is an intended update, but given the unusability of that field with the many linebreaks I would err on not. The two above fields made it very easy to assign to a field to use for production cards (native language -> target language cards), as the normal glossary fields would include example sentences which obviously give away the definition.
