Start Approval emails not showing line breaks

I've had this flow running a while, but its just started putting \n where line breaks need to go. Anyone come across this or know a fix?

    No answer but just reporting the same behaviour with one of my Flows.

    I've got the exact same problem and before I found this post I had just posted in the Using Flows forum with some more screenshots.

    Seems something has changed since last week as was working fine last week.

    Tables also seem to be affected. This Flow used to work:

    Now it shows this:

    It's working fine on the iOS outlook and Flow app. Not on computer.

    Hi This is not fixed. The \n is gone but its still not allowing line breaks.

     

    Everything comes out on one line.

    I agree...doesn't seem to be completely resolved.  The \n is gone but all the text is together rather than recognizing the line breaks.  If I put a blank space between each line, it looks ok, but not if I just have multiple lines with no blank spaces between rows.

    Hi.

    This functionality seems to still be very badly broken. When will the fix roll out? It is blocking a deliverable.
