Line Breaks in Multiline fields being removed in HTML views

Line Breaks in Multiline fields being removed in HTML views

Is there any way to get line breaks in multi-line fields to display when fetched from html pages.  I keep running into to this issues over and over.  Is it a known limitation that has no plans to be fixed? or a known bug that does plans to be fixed? Does anyone else have this issue and if so how is it handled?
