I can confirm this (using Firefox 22 on Ubuntu 12.04). After fiddling with the
editor a little on the WikiSandBox, it's specifically a problem in the GUI
editor so as long as you stick to the text editor you'll be OK.

It looks like in the version of MoinMoin (1.5) we're using, the GUI editor
reads in carriage returns to display everything correctly, but then only keeps
HTML/macro line breaks. Definitely not a great moment in usability:
http://moinmo.in/MoinMoinBugs/GuiEditorLineBreak. I think the reason the
preview cuts off at the IRC section is because IRC logs have their own parser
that especially freaks out when it can't find newlines. That's when the preview
function throws in the towel.

For a moment I worried it was something to do with our CSS white-space settings
in "pre" blocks, but we definitely have it set to keep line breaks. So long
story short, it looks like as long as we're on MoinMoin v1.5, we're stuck with
either the text editor or having to redo every line break in the GUI. I don't
know if Dimi Paun's subscribed to this report with a current email address, but
he's the one to contact about upgrading MoinMoin.
