What would cause columns in a blockquote?

I tried using a blockquote within shopify, and it worked fine until I used <p> or <a> inside the blockquote, wherein it created columns.

I guess there is no real reason to use a blockquote, as I can just style a div to look exactly the same, without the issue(s). So I'll proibably just do that. Still curious what attribute would be causing the columns though.
