It looks like the bug is in the new line to break rules minifeature. Changing line 24 of /application/libraries/Engine/View/Helper/ViewMore.php:

protected $_maxLineBreaks = 4; // Truncate early if more than this nl


to 12; fixes the problem for now without removing the functionality entirely. I also noticed that the new line to break rule feature doesn't work as advertised. Changing lines 41-55:

// If using line breaks, ensure that there are not too many line breaks
if( $nl2br ) {
$string = trim(preg_replace('/[rn]+/', "n", $string));
if( ($c = substr_count($string, "n")) > $this->_maxLineBreaks) {
$pos = 0;
for( $i = 0; $i < $this->_maxLineBreaks; $i++ ) {
$pos = strpos($string, "n", $pos + 1);
}
if( $pos <= 0 || !is_int($pos) ) {
$pos = null;
}
if( $pos && $pos < $moreLength ) {
$moreLength = $pos;
}
}
}


to

if( $nl2br ) {
$string = preg_replace('{(<br[^>]*>s*)+}', '<br>', nl2br($string));
}


and removing lines 56-60 entirely seems to work better.
