When I use the WYSIWG system, even if I press "enter" on my keyboard to create gaps between different sentences or paragraphs, the actual text is produced without any spacing.

Like if I want:

"a......n"
[space]
"b......n"

all I get is:

"a......n"
"b......n"

Opera 9.64 on Windows Vista.

What also happens is - I have to modify a post then add the gap lines again by pressing "enter" - and then the spaces show - but not the first time around.

Is this on all posts or just some with specific formatting?

Also, can you try clearing your browsers cache and seeing if it still happens?

Ross its happening everywhere - even in PMs. And I did clear my cache - 2 times no less. Still happens.

OK, I found the problem. Opera was using an empty set of P tags for blank lines which were getting stripped. I've added something which will replace them with a line break instead
