Preserving linebreaks after filtering

[SaW]

Trying to allow linebreaks in my comment section of the news page, but I can't seem to keep the linebreaks after filtering, and I've been struggling with it for a long, so I thought I'd ask for help here.

This is the process of the comment with filtering:

Spoiler

You must be registered for see images attach

And the secure method:

Spoiler

You must be registered for see images attach

This interfers with the linebreaks like this:

You must be registered for see images attach

where if I remove the filter, It works just fine:

You must be registered for see images attach

Thanks.
