Double spacing between paragraphs in posts? New?

[Janet H]

This sort of issue seems to pop up occasionally at browser updates and over the past years has happened with Firefox, Chrome and IE/Edge. Changing the editor options is your settings is usually a good work around until the browser release has been patched.

Say it: No Extra Line Breaks.

I registered for this forum to explicitly thank you for this post. I'm one of the moderators of another forum and after upgrading to an ESR version of Firefox, all my posts started having double spaces between paragraphs. Your suggestion fixed the problem. Thank you.

p.s. Fount this thread through a Google search when investigating a solution.

p.p.s. I am retired, but was not an "early retiree".
