Hi, when a teacher writes feedback, he can use line breaks to make the text readable, but they don't appear in the student view. Why is this, and are there any solutions?

Hello @jonna_radegard
Thank you for contacting the Instructure Community. We're sorry to hear you've been experiencing issues with formatted comments remaining. It could be a number of things but I did just leave a comment as a teacher in my Canvas course and hit enter to create spaces between the lines of text so that there were gaps between the text. Then, as the teacher the gaps remained in Speedgrader. I then logged in as the student and the gaps also remained. It did not bunch all text together without the spaces I manually entered. How is the teacher leaving these comments? In speedgrader? Or elsewhere? Are they using an internet browser or the app? Is the app or browser up to date? etc. Are they viewing the comments in student view or an actual student? As in is this a real submission or are they testing things? There's a lot of variables here.
Because of the complexity of the issue, and the concerns for privacy, you may want to Canvas Support directly to pinpoint the source of the issue and provide a resolution:

Hi, @greydon and others. This is occurring for me and for all the teachers regardless off browser and also regardless of test och real student. Maybe it has something to do with assignment enhancements that we have activated and likes very much. I think this is something for Canvas to fix.
I contacted support and they say that the students are not seeing the space at all and it´s unclear if this is even being worked on unfortunately.

Since this has been posted almost a year now, I was wondering on the status at Instructure. I have recently been contacted by more faculty with this exact issue. Their feedback looks great when they view it, but when students go to Grades and view Comments, it is one big block of text with no formatting. One instructor even tried to use a list for the students but it came out looking like a long sentence with a bunch of hyphens on the student end.
Currently I recommend using more than one comment in lieu of paragraphs, but that does not help a list much. Usually we are all using Chromium browsers on Windows or MAC computers. Some students are using various mobile devices as well.
Hello, I have a number of assignments that require students to complete peer reviews. Because my course is self-paced and students are progressing at different rates, I created completed sample submissions using the Test Student account so that students would always have a submission available to review. However, when I go…
Hi, I can't get this working right. I've created outcomes where the calculation method is to meet mastery twice. I've aligned them to several assignments. The grade book displays mastery as met when it's only been achieved on one of the assignments. It's not showing positive or negative for the other assignments. (I've…
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
