HTML to text adds random new lines

I'm trying to convert an RTF field to plain text but "HTML to text" keeps adding random new lines (see image below).

It should do it only for tags like <br>, </li>, etc.

I can't remove them in the result, because there are line breaks I need.

Any suggestion?

So, I tried to convert an HTML paragraph with basically no line breaks

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Quisque imperdiet aliquet lectus, ut fermentum nulla porttitor ut. Donec eget tortor convallis est semper ultrices ac a lectus. Ut turpis risus, ornare vel ipsum id, vestibulum fringilla purus. Pellentesque feugiat, sapien sit amet vestibulum tempus, lectus nulla ornare eros, et cursus velit turpis eu sem. Phasellus ullamcorper finibus dolor. Phasellus eget egestas eros. Fusce dignissim volutpat efficitur. Fusce in orci nec urna efficitur sodales nec sit amet nisi. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Proin mauris mi, pharetra ac lectus ac, vehicula iaculis lectus. Nam eget dolor quam. Mauris laoreet tortor a orci luctus, ut condimentum dolor malesuada. <br></p>

And in the result I get new lines every 79-80 characters:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Quisque imperdiet\naliquet lectus, ut fermentum nulla porttitor ut. Donec eget tortor convallis est\nsemper ultrices ac a lectus. Ut turpis risus, ornare vel ipsum id, vestibulum\nfringilla purus. Pellentesque feugiat, sapien sit amet vestibulum tempus, lectus\nnulla ornare eros, et cursus velit turpis eu sem. Phasellus ullamcorper finibus\ndolor. Phasellus eget egestas eros. Fusce dignissim volutpat efficitur. Fusce in\norci nec urna efficitur sodales nec sit amet nisi. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,\nconsectetur adipiscing elit. Proin mauris mi, pharetra ac lectus ac, vehicula\niaculis lectus. Nam eget dolor quam. Mauris laoreet tortor a orci luctus, ut\ncondimentum dolor malesuada.\n\n\n"

Hi @nicola_prad ,

You can try to replace /n with replace() formula.

replace(outputs('Html_to_text')?['body'],decodeUriComponent('%0A'),'')

Best Regards,

Thank you all, but since it's a multi-line text field, it has already line breaks and I want to keep them.
I think it's pretty weird how's this conversion is implemented.

When it will be fixed end get out of preview? Replace is not a solution. Split() with decodeUriComponent('%0A') is a thing.
