The fix is quite easy. You just need to edit a copy of description.phtml (/app/design/frontend/default/{YOUR-TEMPLATE}/template/catalog/product/view/description.phtml) << don’t mess with the original make a parallel theme. Change: <?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, nl2br($_product->getShortDescription()), ‘short_description’) ?> to <?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getShortDescription(), ‘short_description’) ?> i.e. your just putting back the PHP function to convert newline to BRs.
