New Invoicing - Keep leading carriage returns and spaces in description field
The 'new invoicing' option automatically removes any leading carriage returns and leading spaces in the invoice description field.
This did not occur in the classic version and wonder why it was introduced.
To enable the details of the invoice to be easily read, it is sometimes necessary to separate line items on the invoice and to indent the actual description.
Can this 'feature' be removed?

The spacing within the Description box on the invoice is permitted and will be accurately reflected in the PDF.

With the new invoicing option, the line item descriptions (when not using a stock item) are changed from what is actually entered. With all the other complaints about the new invoicing, this is being ignored.
I have raised this ERROR in all the other issues regarding the new invoice entry, so decided to raise it as a separate issue.
How can a software company change what is entered?
Basically the software is doing an automatic 'Trim' of all details entered on each line which eliminates the ability of the customer to format an invoice how they want.
That is beyond arrogant.... -

With the removal of the classic invoice option and only being able to use the new invoicing option in September, how can you format the item description of an invoice with the way this new function works.
To format it so that it is readable means that it looks very UNPROFESSIONAL with full stops or some other character to ensure that the formatting remains as required.
Can the truncation of the description of spurious characters just be made optional rather than it being forced on everyone?
