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.

Hi, we have noticed some changes in the way Canva docs or files are able to be embedded live. Canva is integrated via LTI 1.3 in our Canvas Has Canvas recently changed how it handles unauthenticated external iframe embeds, specifically for tools like Canva? Are public Canva embed iframes (canva.com/design/.../view?embed)…

Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
