"Review suggested edit" page doesn't display Markdown source correctly
I recently suggested an edit to an answer.
Basically, I formatted some code, adding code fences around it:
But at the "Review suggested edit" page, the differences are not clearly displayed.
It shows all the answer text in a single "line":
Hence, it's not only unclear what changes were made, but it also doesn't show the correct Markdown source (ex: there's a blank line before the code fences, but it's all displayed as it was in the same line).
Another case: someone suggested an edit to my question, but I can't see what was changed.
I had to copy-paste the text to an external editor and perform the diff myself to see that a single character was changed (a typo was fixed). Just looking at the page, it was really hard to find the difference:

While reviewing older bug reports we discovered that the first problem is now working; the code fences show up in the diff. The second one still shows as one line without a clear diff, but I don't think we've seen a recent case so it's possible that's a one-off data error of some sort. I'm going to mark this as status-completed; if you see the problem again, please let us know with a new post. And I'm sorry this sat so long without a proper response.
