Paragraph line spacing test

Jeez EBM... Keep up the great posts!

This is actually a pretty useful and informative thread that concurs that the problem is with those members using Firefox web browser.

I use Samsung browser on my phone and have no issues but Firefox on my laptop is an issue as discussed.

Too funny!
Maybe EBM realised his post was pointless and so deleted it by the time I had posted my reply.

Way to go.....

I think I may have found a solution.

First, I found the following thread. It involves using Firefox on other forums, and the symptoms it describes are not the same as what we’ve been seeing here. But it adds credence to my observation that the problem began when Firefox 60 was introduced, and it appears to confirm that the issue involves interactions between Firefox and the characteristics of the specific software that is used by specific forums.

I’m posting this with Firefox, composed in a normal manner, after first running some tests using the Preview function under the response box, the tests involving changing an obscure Firefox setting which was referred to in that thread. That being as follows:

In the Firefox address bar enter "about:config" (without the quotes). If a cautionary note appears bypass it by clicking "I accept the risk," or whatever such words appear. (I’ve routinely done that many times over the years for various reasons, without issue). In the search box which then appears enter "editor.use" (without the quotes). Right-click on the line that says "editor.use_div_for_default_newlines" and click "Toggle." That should change its value from "True" to "False."

Close Firefox, re-open it, and hopefully you’ll find that the problem is solved, with no side-effects. That appears to be the case for me, as far as I have been able to tell based on some preliminary tests and on composing and submitting this post. And if any undesirable side-effects subsequently appear, here or elsewhere, it’s easy enough to change the value back to "True."

It has been about 20 years working in IT and websites since I heard of such lack of responsibility from a web site, though back then they would make it a policy such as "We only support IE 7" and rather than fix the problems, they’d block non-compliant browsers. This was in the early days when IE would introduce deliberately non-compliant features and then banks/financial institutions would rely on them.




Cool, put that on a banner at the top.

Erik -- See my post just above. It appears that a very simple (although very obscure) change to a setting in Firefox resolves the problem.

Best,
