Paragraph Returns in Posts Are Automatically Deleted (5 posts)

    I have this crazy thing going on, where a paragraph return will completely disappear, shifting the following block of text back up to sit right behind the full-stop at the end of the preceding paragraph.

    To demonstrate:

    Here is my initial paragraph of text.
    Here is my second paragraph of text.

    After publishing my post, the two paragraphs will look like this:

    Here is my initial paragraph of text.Here is my second paragraph of text.

    This doesn't happen with every paragraph - it'll be select paragraphs, and I cannot see how WordPress is chosing which paragraphs to display in this way.

    To resolve this, I edit the post, re-apply the paragraph return, and update. When then viewing the updated post, this issue is fixed. But then, I see further down the post, it's done the same thing with another two different paragraphs.

    So... I go back into edit-mode, and fix the second occurrence. After updating, I check the live post again, and this second occurrence is fixed too. But wait! The first occurrence is back again!! Huh?

    ...and I end up playing this ridiculous ping-pong with every post I write. It's driving me insane!

    I write in Visual mode, but am happy and capable-enough to write in HTML mode, but neither mode seem to make a difference, and when the issue does occur (I'd bank on it happening), switching to HTML mode reveals no weird code. It all looks clean to me.

    I can't be the only person suffering this.

    Are your posts set to be excerpts by default?

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
    Here is an example post: http://tinrobot.biz/?p=504

    It should look ok when you view it, but it took 16 attempts at editing that post until the paragraphing behaved itself. I totally nearly put my fist through the monitor.
