Semicolons in the abstract start new paragraphs

Post by tvito » Wed Jun 10, 2015 10:36 pm

Hello,

I tried to retrieve in OPS abstracts that include semicolons (e.g. abstract of US8843851) but instead of getting unbroken lines with semicolons I get text that is broken into multiple paragraphs.
When accessed through Espacenet, the same abstract is correct and displayed with the semicolons.
Is there a way to retrieve the text with the semicolons?

Thank you in advance.
