 * Hello, I have search the forums for this problem and there are no solutions and
   most conversations are 3 years old.
 * Has there been a fix to forcing line breaks? Whenever i force a line break WordPress
   takes it out. This is very frustrating. Do you know any code to force breaks 
   that WP likes?
 * Any help will be greatly appreciated by me and many others too.

 * If you are writing a post, you cant just hit enter in the “visual” tab because
   it wont show up and will just be deleted the minute you save or preview. So you
   go into the “html” tab and put in a line break 
    but WP gets rid of this as soon
   as you save or click the visual tab.
 * If you type ‘force line break’ into the search there are a lot of people complaining
   but they are mainly old posts.
 * I have been looking through the codex but nothing as yet.

 * Don’t switch back & forth between editing tabs. Pick a tab and then stick to 
   it. If you create your content in a plain text editor and then paste it into 
   the Visual tab, your line breaks will be preserved.

 * This is good advice, I was switching back and forth as sometimes I needed bulletpoints,
   and that is easier in the editor.
 * But as you said if you dont switch you dont have any problems
 * Many Thanks
