We use TextParameterDefinition to obtain a commit message for the deployment stage. The following code is used to obtain the message

 
                                                                stage ('Approval (Dev)') {
            milestone 1
            
            timeout(time:5, unit:'DAYS') {
                commitMessage = input (id: 'userInput', message: "Approve build for Dev?", parameters: [
     				[$class: 'TextParameterDefinition', defaultValue: """${commitMessage}""", description: 'Change Summary', name: 'comment'],
                	])
            }
            milestone 2

            deploymentApproved = true
        }
 
                                                            

TextParameterDefinition is supposed to produce a multi-line input field, but instead, single-line text input is shown - resulting in all newline characters being ignored and the entire commit message being "smushed" into a single line:

Note that the same field is shown correctly in Blue Ocean UI:
