Comment 7 for bug 584147

I'm reopening the bug.

The behavior is still present in software-center 3.0.7 (the package version in synaptic). For example, look at the description of the stellarium package in "ppa:stellarium/stellarium".

The bug is described in the changelog in comment #5 above as "support bullets with " o item" in the description". *This is wrong.* Note that in my original report, Stellarium uses asterisks. In the current version, it uses dashes. Both are not rendered correctly.

There may be a problem with the line ending characters - list items are not recognized as separate lines, which means that newlines are stripped somewhere.
