Sometimes it works and sometimes it don't.

And what really adds injury to the insult this sort o BUG RIDDEN 'CODE' is that you cannot fix it in the code window.

Nope...no can do. Code entered in that window...well, sometimes it's saved and sometime it ain't.

Good, good, good thing WP.com is free that's fer sure.

This is one pathetic platform in this regard.

As well as Safari on the iPhone/iPod Touch. This particular post might be of interest for iPhone/iPod Touch users as it pinpoints the problem with the Visual Editor:

Someone reminded me I should use the Code (HTML) view as Default and I've switched and will be redoing the iPhone/iPod Touch test either today or tomorrow.

Right now, I use a PC with Firefox for posting from a desktop and have never had line break problems as I had testing Safari. (I have had other formatting problems which are apparently attributable to bugs in the TinyMCE Visual Editor; but I've learned how to work around a nagging one dealing with blockquoting.)

I use the latest Firefox version, and had no problem with my early posts, but since last night, line breaks are a lucky dip; sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.

I've had FF (Mac and Windows) and IE both suffer stripped paragraph breaks only to - as quisitio points out - have it not strip them the next time. I edit a published post and the paragraph breaks stay, then I edit it again and they are stripped out.

This is complete madness. On one of my blogs I've been using the Ecto offline editor, but on the other one I've been using the wordpress editor and I think I'm now going to switch to Ecto on everything since I'm getting tired of fighting with the paragraph breaks in the wordpress editor.

It just ain't worth the grief.

No problem with that, previously.

I tried unchecking as suggested above. Then I re-checked. I really prefer visual rich editor.

Then I posted a ps about the formatting problem on my post; it appeared with a line-break....

Other line-breaks were then also mysteriously do-able.

So the problem has resolved, for now.

Using Firefox on Mac OS X.

This works. Go to your...

On the right hand side of the page find the checkbox for:

Download and use Firefox or Camino

Firefox: http://en.www.mozilla.com/en/
Camino: http://caminobrowser.org/

Or download and use an offline editor such as Qumana (free) or Ecto (about $20). Timethief has a nice review of all of them both for Windows and Mac, here: http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2007/10/26/offline-blog-editors-reviews/ .

@stickslip
Not everyone is comfortable, or knows anything about html, so turning off the editor is not a real option for them.

I'm using the editor and I've tried going to code section and using the normal <br>'s, but they get stripped out and crunches my lines together.

When I'm in the Visual section, with the Advanced Toolbar open, the bottom left corner has Paragraph unless I change it to Heading # or whatever. This causes all Enter's from the keyboard to result in new paragraphs with a spaced line between them. If I hold shift+enter, it gives me a new line without the space, but I can't use that to artifically increase the space between sections. I assume it treats it as a <br> and ignores it.

It makes it quite difficult to break up sections of my post and I'm not sure why it's like that or how to fix it in Firefox (newest version).

The editor removed all of them and squeezed all my paragraphs and lines together. I would put these back, but as soon as I enter the edit mode again, it would do the same thing. IT HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN, and IT WAS FRUSTRATING!

The solution: Turn off the Rich Text Editor. WHO NEEDS IT ANYWAY?

After this, I had full control of all my editing, as well as the HTML tags.

Hope this helps
