Lee Mac Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Go into your general settings and select the standard editor and see if that changes anything. This post is now using the 'Standard' editor. Let's see if extra carriage returns are added between these lines. I have only separated these lines with a single line.

Lee Mac Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 It would seem that the 'Standard' editor solves the issue, though, I've not needed to change this setting in the 10 years that I've been an active member here - evidently something has changed in the forum software to cause this.

rkmcswain Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Same FF version as @Lee Mac - using the Enhanced Editor Interface I am putting a single return in between these sentences. Let's see what happens. EOM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmcswain Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Yes, I agree, it's adding extra 's when using FF. I'm going to switch back to Chrome and test next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmcswain Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 This is Chrome Version 67.0.3396.87 (Official Build) (64-bit) One space in between these sentences. I wonder what the result will be? EOM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmcswain Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Looks like FF is the key to this. For some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmcswain Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Just for comparison, here is Opera v53.0 One space in between these sentences. One more time for a test. EOM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forum software hasn't changed. I suspect this must be a browser/keyboard quirk. Adding an extra line here to check... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CADTutor Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I'm using Firefox 60.0.2 (64-bit) on Win 10 Doesn't appear to be a problem for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to happen when there is a blank line in the post: the single blank line is converted to two blank lines. For example, I see that there are two blank lines between the quoted text and your response in post #28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CADTutor Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 OK, testing for one blank line... One line above and one line below End of test. Yes, you're right, I'm seeing the same thing. But, as I said, there is no change in the forum software so this must be a browser thing. Annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying Not to worry - changing the forum editor to 'Standard' appears to resolve the issue for now; hopefully FF will address this in a future release.

SLW210 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I switched to standard reply box a long time ago in all forums I visit, there have been different quirks in all of the browsers on different forums it seems with WYSIWYG from time to time.
