A suggestion for the custom editable textfield in the metadata

Hey guys and kovid, great job on version 4.

I have a slight inconvenience. I use a custom editable textfield in the metadata for my "reviews" where I sync this to goodreads. However, with version 4, my custom html tags are formatted with new lines now.

For example, my original text:
Code:
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</p><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</p><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</p><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</p>
turns to:
Code:
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</p>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</p>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</p>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</p>
This seems trivial, however, goodreads parses newlines as an extra break so it seems like every paragraph now has three line breaks. I didn't have this problem before where calibre3 didn't format the tags with new lines.

Just wondering you can revert the behavior or if this is the principle for calibre4.

Thanks.
