Editor removing br and p tags

    When using editor in visual mode and after pressing enter or shift+enter I get only empty lines in html and not <p></p> or <br />.
    I think this started with wp update to 3.3.1. Also all existing line breaks all over the content were removed, it is quite annoying since I have to add them manually.
    The solution was to install plugin tinymce advanced and enabling option Stop removing the <p> and tags, but I would really like to know why did this happen. Did anybody have same problem?

    There’s no way around this. WordPress insert <p> and
    tags automatically so you don’t have to.

    If you want more space between paragraph, then you change your css.

    Use Shift enter for
    and hit shift for new paragraph.

    Above works…when one switches to HTML editor AND THEN BACK to visual editor….code is ‘decided’ by WP….very, very, poor implementation….poor design

    WordPress doesnt add any <p> tags to my content whatsoever.

    I can add them manually in the HTML and then they will be saved to db, and output in the source on the front end, however any use of the visual editor wipes out all <p> tags.

    I cannot expect the client to learn and write HTML code in order to update their content.

    So far, I’ve found WordPress to be very buggy for something so popular.
