[[Item Title||Item Title]] has hidden br attached at end in Mail Template

There appears to be a hidden <br> attached to the [[Item Title||Item Title]] placeholder in the mail template builder for workflows. It does not show up when viewing/editing the HTML, but when an email is sent that has the [[Item Title||Item Title]] placeholder in the subject line, the wayward <br> appears, attached to the end of it. When used in the body of the email, there is an automatic and unremoveable line break; if you try to put [[Item Title||Item Title]] in line with other text, the line break won't show in the editor or the HTML source, but will appear in the sent email. For instance:

In the template you put:

[[Item Title||Item Title]] has been approved!

In the email that gets sent, it looks like this:

Item Title
has been approved!

We've had the same issue and my understanding is that it's something that SharePoint adds. We found that using the 'Title' field value placeholder ( [[Title||Title]] ) instead of the 'Item Title' placeholder gave us the results we wanted.

If you're wanting it to be linked, you can build the link manually using the [[Title||Title]] placeholder in the Text field of the hyperlink button.
