This is the second report I’ve seen of something similar with homebrewed races. (https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/154173-homebrew-racial-traits-visual-bug-in-the-character is the other.) I know they’re tinkering around with the content creator, so this is probably a side effect of that. We use the same system that the Devs use, we just only have restricted access. One thing you can do to help is post the URLs for your races. The Mods & Devs can even view unpublished homebrews, so DON’T PUBLISH THEM!! (Publishing makes it harder to fix stuff.) Those links can help the Mods & Devs figure out whatever has gone funky on them.

I updated my post so that the names are linked to the URLs of the races.
Whenever you add anything to, change anything on, or remove anything from any homebrew, you MUST re-save the entire project using the main [SAVE CHANGES] button under Basic Information or the system will not pick up your changes. After that it can sometimes take up to 20 minutes for those changes to push through to the character builder/sheet.
Then that's what I did originally over a month ago.
6b seems irrelevant. The issue is on the page for the homebrew races not on the character sheet.
I need to get rid of the empty space between paragraphs and make new lines. After I save, the descriptions finally show up. There seems to be an indentation since some text is more to the right then others but there's no space to highlight and it only fixes itself if you backspace right before its about to join the previous paragraph.
Ahh, you must have some errant code in your description, probably caused by a copy/paste. If you look at the top of the description window you will see a number of grey buttons. One of them looks like this:
Click that and it will show you the html for the description, delete any code that doesn’t look like this:
Those demarcate the beginning and end of a paragraph, get rid of everything else other than your text. Then click [Ok], and then [SAVE] it again. That ought to fix it for you properly. You may need to go back and adjust some minor formatting things, but it’ll be clean of anything causing those indents and other problems.
So I have a bunch of homebrew races whom I updated the descriptions of.
Problem is when you go the race page, half of them still have the old descriptions and the other half only have the first paragraph of the new ones.
And if I go to edit them, the new descriptions are there. So there's a disconnect somewhere.
If any mod wants to take a look, the races are: Dwarf (Dark Sun), Elf (Dark Sun), Half-elf (Dark Sun), Halfling (Dark Sun), Mul (Dark Sun), Pterran (Dark Sun), and Thri-kreen (Dark Sun).
Meanwhile I have Half-giant (Dark Sun) that has the correct description. So I have no idea why that's the only one to work.
I copied and pasted the descriptions from a personal homebrew document if that matters.

Bumping this because its been a month and the issue is still there.
Please see the General Homebrew FAQ #s 6 & 6-B: (https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/131411-a-homebrewers-how-to-faq). If that doesn’t solve it, post back again.

If you mean:

Ok I think I found the solution.
I need to get rid of the empty space between paragraphs and make new lines. After I save, the descriptions finally show up. There seems to be an indentation since some text is more to the right then others but there's no space to highlight and it only fixes itself if you backspace right before its about to join the previous paragraph.
So basically I need to do:
Paragraph 1.
Paragraph 2.
-----------
Paragraph 1.Paragraph 2.
-----------
Paragraph 1.
Paragraph 2.
-----------
After that, it works.
Ahh, you must have some errant code in your description, probably caused by a copy/paste. If you look at the top of the description window you will see a number of grey buttons. One of them looks like this:

I hope that helps
