I'll see what we can do about this.

This is possibly to maintain the formatting of the post which is being reblogged.

The effect of this apparent prohibition on reformatting when reblogging a post is, that the comment (i.e. the post being made in reply) cannot be formatted properly.

When I reblog a post, my comments are, by default, all posted as a single block of text without any lines spaces whatsoever, which means that there are no paragraphs.

When I insert line spaces in visual editing mode, the line spaces I insert are ignored by wordpress.com and are only visible to me while I am in visual editing mode; the line spaces are not visible in viewing mode and so are not visible to the reader.

In order to overcome this problem, I inserted HTML code for the line spacing while in text editing mode.

My conclusion is that the user should not have to do this, and my recommendation is that wordpress.com coders rectify this by keeping line spaces in comments written as part of the reblogging process so that users do not have to manually code them in themselves.

What you're saying is that you want to insert single-line breaks instead of the default double-line breaks?

Problem occurred again, but this time using the HTML code for a return while using text mode didn't work.

It's as desired now because I found that useful post on html that I mentioned earlier which helped me make it that way.

@alisonramage - I can't seem to find that user's post at all in your Reader - are you following the blog?

command in the text mode, if I updated the post from text mode after inserting all of the

This is not ideal, but at least it worked for this purpose.

This trick doesn't work anymore, I'm trying to do shift + enter to keep the lines together but WordPress.com doesn't like that when my content is a reply to a post that's reblogged.

Please could WordPress.com techies look at the code to see why?

I went back into the post, selected all the text, aligned left, changed style from paragraph to pre-formatted and back to paragraph again and clicked on updated.

That did the trick.

This is not the case in editing mode, just when the post is viewed.
