Why is wordpress suddenly stripping away all newline characters and how to disable this?

I've spent about 3 hours trying out various functions to figure out why the newline characters are being removed every time I save.

How do I figure out why is wordpress suddenly stripping away newline characters? I have not installed any plugins. How can I get newline characters to show up on my site without converting all blocks to HTML and modifying everything in code?

I have the same issue. For me with Beaver Builder I have to choose a Classic Block and then pasting with newlines works.

I found the following snippet which we can add to functions.php . I'm adding these via a plugin.

function clear_br($content) { 
return str_replace("<br>","<br clear='none'>", $content);
} 
add_filter('the_content','clear_br');

Note that I've put "<br>" tag which is what wordpress creates when you enter newline characters.
