Line endings in forum...

What's up with line endings in forum submissions?

On my Mac, line endings that I type ("return" key) tend to be ignored; I need to type shift-return. or multiple returns to actually get a newline.

On my PC, text entered as double spaced (hit return twice) ends up as triple spaced when actually posted.

So the Mac text entry seems to be omitting newlines, and the PC is adding extras??!!

(It's been doing this for ages, BTW.  Not "new" behavior.)

Using Chrome on Windows 10, and the "regular" (not simplified-for-mobile) version of the forum, I don't see any anomalies. Could you please give details about the OS versions and browsers you are using?

I typed two carriage returns before this line.
And one carriage return before this line.

And another two before this final line.

It probably also has to do with whether or not you use the WYSIWYG editor

I see lots of buttons to enter emojies, make text bold or italic or underlined or superscript or subscript or typewriter etc and that adds BBcode to the text.

I didn't know this forum had another option!  I default to markdown on Reddit but you can switch back and forth to WSIWYG there at will while composing a reply with a button click.
