Calibre Changing My HTML

Ever since one of Calibre's updates sometime last year, Calibre keeps changing the HTML in my book details. It happens immediately when I open the edit metadata window. I use very basic HTML that's easy for me to read at a glance. I've cleared the Text Styling on Look & Feel Book Detail tab but that didn't solve the problem. Attached images show what I want and what Calibre does.

What I use & how I want it spaced:
<div><b>Size:</b>
<br><br><b>Characters:</b> &diams;&diams; &bull;
<br><b>Places:</b>
<br><br><b>Description:</b>
<p style="text-indent: 15px; margin:0px"></p>

<ul style="margin-left:-25px">
<li><a href="">Goodreads</a></li>
<li><a href="">Smashwords</a></li>
</ul><br><br></div>

Calibre's changes & how it runs all the HTML together:
<div>
<p><strong>Size:</strong> <br><br><strong>Characters:</strong> ♦♦ • <br><strong>Places:</strong> <br><br><strong>Description:</strong> </p>
<ul><li style="text-indent: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 12px; margin-left: -25px; margin-bottom: 0px">Goodreads</li>
<li style="text-indent: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-left: -25px; margin-bottom: 12px">Smashwords</li></ul>
<p><br><br></p></div>

How do I stop Calibre from doing this?
