LQ Posts and Editing: What's up with double newlines?
I seem to be seeing double newlines be added.
Such as if I do a Quick Reply to a thread, I usually start typing in that window, and then I view the Preview many times to make sure it looks as I'd like it to, and there were no errors using things like BB codes, etc.
And when I preview it, sometimes I see double newlines, or triple ones.
So I go back and fix it.
Haven't done a new thread in quite some time. I'm in what appears to be an Advanced Edit mode already. Which I've confirmed by doing a CTRL-B and seen bold text without having typed the tags for it, or seen the tags appear for my typing pleasure.
So now, I'll preview this and see what happens. (Either case, my question/complaint is that I'm seeing extra newlines added to my Quick Replies)
Upon preview, it did it again, so I'll leave it that way.
Edit: No, I'm not experiencing this (Firefox 62.0, Linux Mint 19 MATE). Note that in relation to the OP, I can't preview Quick Replies, only ordinary replies (the Preview button isn't there) - is there something I'm missing?
Edit 2: Can someone who is experiencing the problem provide some defined steps to replicate this problem so that I can try to emulate it?
I've seen this happen from time to time, but without consistency. I've seen it more often when I compose the rare blog post or add something to the LQ calendar.
Firefox v. 60.2 on Slackware 14.2. (And it didn't happen with this post.)
