      Issue Summary

      This is reproducible on Data Center: yes

      Insight TextArea attribute can be edited in two ways (Button "Edit" vs. Cog Menu Edit), where Button Edit destroys the line break formatting of Cog Menu Edit. 

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create an Object having an attribute of type "Textarea". 
      2. Edit the Object in List view using the "gear" icon and enter "formatted" text as below and save. In the below screenshot, we have a "Description" attribute of type "Textarea".
      3. If we Browse Open the Object, text in the Description attribute is displayed as expected.
      4. Now on the same screen, click on Edit and we can see that the formatted text is broken and the contents are in paragraph format.

      There is no option of "Formatted" paragraph on the Browse Object Edit screen whereas "Formatted" paragraph is present in the Object List view Edit.

      Expected Results

      Text in "formatted" format should not be broken when "textarea" attribute is edited in Browse Object Edit screen.

      Actual Results

      Text in "formatted" format is broken when "textarea" attribute is edited in Browse Object Edit screen.

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
