Line break within shortcode

Hi,

I use the plugin since several months and until now it was possible to use a <br> to line break within the [eeb_protect_content] shortcode. Now (I don’t know since when exactly) it doesn’t work anymore. If I use the shortcode several times below each other (to force a line break), there is a large gap between each line.

What could I do to avoid this or how could I just use <br> in a single shortcode?
