Flaw in NOTES
This is BAD, both in current version and new to come version.
No line breaks to keep information straight
Title: Familienbuch (we the Germans understand this perfectly to mean numbered family)
39 Brotdorf
34 Brotdorf
is what I prefer to display correctly.
NOT this 39 Brotdorf 34 Brotdorf, displayed incorrectly. (We mistake this to be page 39, page 34)
How come stories have the correct line breaks?
BTW, the rude rebukes in new version are uncalled for! Be nice, ask nicely to move from Life Sketch. And whoever been deleting Familienbuchs from Life Sketch in old version and HIDE in collborations, should be reprimanded for this nasty deed. (the submitter is listed constantly as FamilySearch on Nov 3, 2022). No courtesy notice ever been received.

I see line breaks within notes (on both the old and new versions of the Person Page) just fine. If I press Enter at the end of the line, it puts a hard line break into the note, and that is visible both when I view the note and when I edit it.
Clearly you are seeing something different. I wonder if you are copying and pasting from a word processor or some other source (e.g., another website). If so, there could be the possibility that different end of line characters in the text you are copying are not interpreted as hard line breaks by the note formatter in FamilySearch.
Have you tried editing the note to put hard line breaks where you want them? If you do that and then save the updated note, do the line breaks remain as you entered them?

Regarding your comment about "rude rebukes": Are you talking about the note placed above an existing Brief Life History that says "Please move warnings and cautions from the Brief Life History to the notes. Then mark the note as an alert note."
If so, that seems polite enough. Do you have a suggestion for alternate wording that would communicate this clearly?
Finally, you requested: "And whoever been deleting Familienbuchs from Life Sketch in old version and HIDE in collborations, should be reprimanded for this nasty deed. (the submitter is listed constantly as FamilySearch on Nov 3, 2022). No courtesy notice ever been received."
There was a general fixup done by FamilySearch on November 3. The goal was to move entries in the Brief Life History (formerly called "Life Sketch") that were clearly not a brief life history, but rather genealogical notes, to a Note so that the Brief Life History field would be available for an actual summary of the person's life. This fixup was done algorithmically, so it's possible that an entry that was actually a life history was incorrectly detected as a genealogical note. In my experience, the automated moves I've seen were all done correctly, but it's certainly possible that a mistake was made here or there.
I'm not sure what these Familienbuch entries in the Brief Life History look like. If they are genealogical notes, then it seems entirely appropriate and helpful that they were moved to a Note. If they are actual life histories, and the move was done in error, then you can always move them back.
