Possible Solution

I believe we have to change on line 36,37,38,39 in this file: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/react/features/chat/components/web/ChatMessage.js

const escMessage = messageToDisplay.replace(/</g, '&lt;') .replace(/>/g, '&gt;') .replace(/\n/g, '<br/>'); const processedMessage = []; when I inspect the HTML shows like this

Steps to reproduce

start a chat and send a message with multiple lines executing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to put a new line

Environment details

I’m using Chrome in Ubunto 18.01
