 * When saving new (or already existing) posts, extra lines are being added – with
   these tags:
 * > <p><br class=”spacer_” /></p>
 * Any way to avoid this? Quite annoying always getting that extra blank space.
   
   Thanks, Kjetil

 * Sounds like you need to edit 1 or more of your theme’s template files and remove
   those lines.

 * Point is that they’re added automatically, one or more lines of this code each
   time I eg. edit a post.
    I believe it started after upgrading to WP 2.84 – so
   maybe it will vanish when I move on to 2.8.6 (which will be done soon). Thanks

 * Have you tried deactivating all plugins?

 * Nope – might be a good idea though. Thanks for your suggestion, Esmi.
    The “downside”
   is that the site has lots of visitors. I think I leave to see if the next WP 
   upgrade fixes it.

 * Hi guys
    Did you find the culprit for this? I have exactly the same problem, 
   it all looks fine and then on saving it the editor adds space around the images
   usually.
 * The only thing that I can think of is that it started for me when I added the
   TINYmce advanced editor. (which I love for all its extra options).
 * I wonder if it is the tick box option in the (new)editor to show the `<p>` and`
   <br />` ?
 * be nice to hear how you guys got on….
    Cheers for now Ian
