How can I preserve line breaks in my search output?

I'm parsing out a field that has linebreaks. I'd like the multilines to be visible in the search results. Instead I'm seeing them wrap and jam all together.

Inspecting the HTML I can see that the linebreaks are being written out properly, it just looks like the CSS is stripping those out.

I can see that by tweaking the style and adding 'white-space: pre' I get the desired result. Is there a better way, or will Sumologic update their styles to account for this?

  Adding an option to display line breaks would go a long way to making SumoLogic a lot more usable for us. Since it is simply a style change in the web app, it seems like a very simply change to make.
