Force line breaks in field description property

There does not appear to be the ability for rich text in the field description (bubble text).

 

For instance this:

 

VALUES:
Active, Inactive, (No Class)

NOTES:
- Inactive means class manually marked inactive.

 

Turns into:

bubble_text.png

Any way around this to make look like I want it to look, and not have everything run on?

Thank you for the reply.

 

Unfortunately those apply to different things.  This is a field property and the same techniques for the links you gave, won't work.

 

I later found a similar post, where someone from Microsoft acknowledged that this was a bug back in February, and I have asked for a status update.
