I got this to me very interesting problem:
I have a cck node type and latest FCKeditor with ckeditor module installed.
If I create a new node using the 'filtered html' input format, and add 2 paragraphs, they persist after saving.
If I open up this item again, suddenly the wysiwyg editor merges the 2 paragraphs and shows to me as 1. Besides, I see plenty multiple blanks, which weren't there before. Neither while adding, nor while viewing the node. When I save, in the view I can see 1 paragraph.
If I create a new node using again the 'filtered html' input format, add some paragraphs, they again persist after saving.
If I open this item for editing, again, the 2 paragraphs merge again. Then I change the input format to 'full html', re-edit the content, so I get again the 2 paragraphs and save, I can reopen, save, reopen, save, and the paragraphs are still separated.
These phenomena happen when I either edit in rich text, plain text or source view (fckeditor mode).
I found out, when I disable the 'HTML filter' in the fckeditor configuration, the problem disappears, but honestly, I don't want this to be disabled, to reduce the risk of getting some strange code inputs.
I tried rearranging filters in the 'filtered html' input format or removed the 'line break converter'. It also didn't make any difference when I created a new limited input format or (dis-)allowed the paragraph tag. The only time it worked with the 'filtered html' input format, when I disabled the fckeditor module completely.
So to me it looks like a problem in the communication between fckeditor and 'filtered html' input format. The fckeditor not alone, since it is working properly with the 'full html' input format, and the 'filtered html' also not alone, since it's working, when I disable fckeditor.
Any ideas?

same problem, but now with a
same problem, but now with a different content type and the 'body' field. Wondering what the fckeditor is doing... Anyway, most annoying.
When the page loads, I can still see the original html, then fckeditor loads and leaves a mess behind. One single paragraph with all content inside. :(
uninstall reinstall through
uninstall reinstall through drupal tweaks did the trick. But a soon as I change settings (editor mode) in fckeditor, I get the same problem again.
