WYSIWYG line breaks being stripped or ignored

Hi,

I am using ACF PRO with a WYSIWYG field on my WordPress site. When I paste text into the editor, I can see the line breaks as expected (see attachments), but once the content is published online, all those line breaks are lost, and the text appears without any breaks just paragraphs, merging everything inside the paragraphs together.

I have the following setup:

ACF PRO version (latest)

WordPress site with the AVADA theme (fully updated)

Everything is up to date.

I’ve confirmed the issue persists even with the latest version of ACF PRO and WordPress. For the time being, I am using a static WYSIWYG field from WordPress itself, which works fine and retains the formatting, but I’d prefer to load this content dynamically using ACF.

Would you be able to advise on how to fix this issue? Is there any setting or filter in ACF that could be affecting the line breaks?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Kind regards,
Alejandro
