Markdown display in Bitbuckets incorrect

[wclauss]

Very often when vieweing a Markdown file (example.md) in Bitbucket the file is not interpreted as Markdown but instead gets displayed as plain text file without line breaks.

Sample Markdown file (this file was created in the browser in bitbucket.org -create file):

    # little Markdown test

    to test if the display is correct in Bitbucket.

is displayed as

    # little Markdown test to test if the display is correct in Bitbucket.

What's happening here?

Browser: Firefox, Internet Explorer 11

Hi Wolfgang, welcome to the Community! 

To add a line break you'll need to end the line with a couple of spaces, then press 'return' and add your new line.

Please test it and let us know if you need any further assistance :) 

Best regards,
