This has been happening a lot lately.
Here’s a field and how it originally looked like on Anki Windows :
If I edit any field of that note with AnkiDroid, the field content is reformatted and it now looks very different on both versions of Anki with a lot of white spaces added :
I would be very thankful for this bug to be fixed.
Kind regards, Denis

Not a bug. To resolve the issue, on AnkiDroid, go to Settings > Advanced . Turn off Replace newlines with HTML .
What this setting does:
Visually represent all <br> (linebreak HTML tag) as newlines in the editor.
Turn any newlines into <br>, that is, actual linebreaks in your cards.
You probably have this turned on, and so everytime you edit and save a note on AnkiDroid, all the newlines are turned into extra <br> tags.
