The line break converter damages preformatted text in the pre html clause. It converts line breaks into HTML (i.e. br and p tags) and puts therefore additional line breaks in to pre clause of the resulting page.
The pre html clause is allowed by default in drupal installation (filtered html), so it does not "work as designed" in this case...

Okay, I understand the new input format and filter system better now, but it is still a nice to have feature.

It'd be nice to have the line break convertor respect <pre> tags for the 4.6 release.

I tested this patch and it indeed prevents content inside <pre> tags from being double-spaced when the line break convertor is enabled. In otherwards, <pre> works as expected now.
