problem with collection description

Hey there,
I'm trying to update the description in my collections and I have several issues:

1. This is the most important, and it is that when I open the little box to edit the description, html code appears (just the <br>), and then if I leave them, they will be visible on the page. But if I erase them and try to write normally, there will be no line breaks and everything will be cramped together.
- btw it would be fantastic if we could use html to insert a link to a lookbook, for example.

2. That little box for editing the description is WAY TOO SMALL. Really, can't see what's two lines above.

3. On the collection page, it looks like it's divided into two columns, because the description only uses half of the width.

I'm in Chrome.

That's it, hopefully number 1 can be resolved rather soon. Thanks!

Thanks for reporting this, Soledad!

We will look into the html and line break issue right away.
Is this happening in existing collections only, or new collections that you are creating?

Collection descriptions were designed to be a few sentences in length, not multiple paragraphs which is why the editing field is small. The buyer facing design was intended to break in that column because a full page design made it difficult to read.

We will look at redesigning the collections input field and display in the future, but for now we will investigate the html issue you are experiencing. Thanks for reporting!

Thanks Sonia,
Did you format it so it shows everything as one paragraph only, regarding of what I enter in the editing box? Now all the descriptions look like that.

No, it should be honoring your linebreaks. I will take a look.
