Bug, I believe introduced in i14. No idea when it'll get fixed, but it seems to be low priority, which is extremely unfortunate. don't edit any of your existing characters' bios if they have line breaks, or they'll get hit with the bug 
Edit: and no, there isn't any workaround other than writing single-paragraph bios.

Thanks for the quick reply. I knew I wasn't crazy; okay, at least not in THIS manner!

Or using ridiculous paragraph breaks like this:
[ QUOTE ]
Write a little something.
--------------------------------------------------
Write some more...
--------------------------------------------------
Add a little bit more..
--------------------------------------------------
Probably run out of room in the text field. lol

The chat bug was patched fairly quickly so I'm hoping this one's stealth patched as well.

[/ QUOTE ] Well I think 50 dashes is more than enough to cover the default sizes. It's still makes for better viewing for most people than what we currently have.
If you aren't comfortable with 50, take satisfaction that you wont end up with:
"-----------------------------------------
---------"
if you put too many, so add as many of them as you think you need.
Yeah, it might look silly for people who expand the info window very large.
It'll still work as a fine divider regardless. Anything is better than a wall of text.

It all depends how much the space is worth to you. Write the bio first, then evenly distribute the dashes until you run out of space. Adjust where necessary.
To be honest, I'd prefer a much simpler approach:
"SPACE FOR RENT" haha

Important tip: A bio written before I-14 that has correct paragraph breaks will be reformatted to lose them if you open the ID form page (the one you use to write your bio). Leave it closed until this bug is fixed! Use stores and merchants if you want to check your influence total (there may also be an influence line in the real combat numbers display, I have never wanted to display that so I am not sure if it exists).

So, at what point did the bio space on one's character stop recognizing paragraph breaks? Or is there a new trick to it that I missed somewhere along the way? I mean, sheesh, I've learned to work within the limited space given, but now I have to lump it all into a single paragraph?
