I keep chastising you because your behaviour is selfish. So you're agreeing you're selfish?

That has always been that way (at least in IE), and I like it.

If YOU don't like the linebreak, do this:

Go to your custom user CSS and add
p, *.p, p:* { margin: 0 ! important; padding: 0 !important; }

No, Enter should be new paragraph - as it is.

If you want to override the text wrapping, then you use Shift-Enter to insert a into the current paragraph.

The size of the gap between the paragraphs is simply a css setting (margin) that the site can configure.

Also, links pasted in Firefox under Ubuntu are not automatically linkified.

I lol-ed. So true.

Enter should each time you push it. The end.

Enter ≠ Line break. Enter = start new paragraph. How would you start a new paragraph if not via the Enter-key?

Win Key+Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Tab+Enter while triple-clicking on the end of the paragraph. That's how real writers do it.

I like it the way it is. We're not using typewriters anymore, are we?

Enter ≠ Line break. Enter = start new paragraph. How would you start a new paragraph if not via the Enter-key? Starting a new paragraph is not the same as 2 line breaks. Are you one of those guys that don't trust the automatic word wrap, and like to break their lines manually?

PS: Why isn't this in the feedback forum? (+1 blowdart)

You know where the feedback forum is, so why do you insist on posting your site requests and feedback here?

Word 2007 has a built-in style called "No spacing". Use it instead of "Normal" and the problem is gone.

It's not hard to change the line spacing in Word. Bring up the Paragraph dialog and set the default Spacing After value to 0. This bugged me too for about one second before I fixed it.

the only time i have to deal with - shift -enter vs enter is Word and Frontpage (and now C9)

the entire world uses enter as ONE space... except ms

The editor uses instead of when I hit enter. Very annoying. It also breaks firefox's spellchecker.

Call this a troll if you'd like, and it is, but I would love to see good old BBCode. There is a reason why BBCode has survived for something like fifteen years now - it works!

"as an added pet peeve - hitting enter now makes a HUGE space instead of a normal one - so youve added "Shift enter" to our posting routine as well"

lol yup

can also add that the DELETE key doesn't function as it should at the end of a sentence either... it only deletes words within the same paragraph!

icouldn'tdeletethisshitwhilethetextcursorwasatthepreviousparagraphohwell

the c9 versions of the add image/video/link/smiley etc still suck ... so they dissaper after you've used them ONCE and maybe you repositioned it... you open it up again.. oops forgot last position baa..

And whats with loading.. you'd think opening them up once on the same page would be all the loading required.. nope although now we get the actual popup gfx showing faster... we still get an empty control area for x seconds while it takes it sweet time to show up :D weeee

Sorry c9 ...I'd take any other popular forum software/editor over this. The best thing to happen to c9 was teh addition of user css.. now I just come back to view the sexy & refreshing restyle I did :P ..ok and maybe the weekly shows :)

this is a line - enter

this is a line - shift enter

before - enter was one line not 2 ... for 5 yrs... like all web editors - unlike WORD ...was used to it
*anyway thats not the main issues

I have no idea why you keep getting huge spaces when you hit enter

I just hit enter there and that seems like a normal enough amount of space between two paragraphs, is that the amount of space that is upsetting you?
