Random empty paragraphs appearing in content

    I’m having random empty <p> tags appear in my posts, in certain places… and it’s really frustrating. I’ve got the “Raw HTML” plugin, so I can remove them in specific instances with a [RAW] shortcode.. and in some cases I can “display: none;” them with CSS… but it feels like I shouldn’t have to do this to begin with. For example:

    <center>Centered text</center>

    in the editor becomes…

    <p></p>
<center>Centered text</center>

    When I preview the page. Likewise, all of my headings (h1, h2, h3 etc) have empty paragraphs added before them in the same way.

    I know I can disable all wordpress auto-formatting… but most of it is pretty useful, except for these random blank paragraphs before certain elements.

    Any suggestions as to what might be causing these, or how I can remove them?
