Discussion Forum editing - anyone else have the disappearing line issue?

[mcbluefire]

Has anyone else noticed this issue when creating/editing a forum post? It just started very recently for me. Less than a month I think.

Write a sentence or two. Hit return twice to have a blank line and then start typing a new line. While typing out the third line hit backspace to remove text and the blank line is removed?

I find it essential to separate thoughts with blank lines so as not to make a "wall of text" when posting and this behavior on the forum is driving me a bit bonkers. (Yeah, I know....I'm long winded and wordy...) If it's just me I'll see what I need to fix in my browser.

Thanks!

You are not alone, though I tried to reproduce the bug, but...couldn't do so. But I'm 100% sure it did happen to me too.

Found a thread on it in the official XenForo forum:

https://xenforo.com/community/threads/editor-backspace-key-unexpectedly-deletes-line-breaks-above-caret-that-were-created-using-shift-enter.205885/

I think it is an issue with the editor used for making posts (Froala).

Yes - @mcbluefire - have exact same annoyance about naturally forcing whitespace (aka blank lines). It's minor, but yes seems to be a relatively new "non-lethal" bug.

Ah, so apparently it's only an issue when using shift+enter? I didn't even realize I was doing that here! Dern Excel online getting me used to using shift+enter to make a line break in a cell. ;0)

I'll stick to using enter only to make line breaks as that seems to prevent the issue. Thanks for helping you three!
