I am running drupal 4.7 and am having a recurring problem with the TinyMCE editor. I create a page, submit it, and it looks fine when published. However, when I return to edit the page, I find that empty lines (designated by TinyMCE with <p></p>) are stripped out. I have to re-edit the entire page and add any extra spaces that have been stripped.

This problem seems to occur only in Internet Explorer, but sporadically. I would say 90% of the time I lose all blank lines, while 10% of the time it selectively deletes blank lines. Firefox does not seem to have this problem.

I have done a lot of searching on this topic and have not been able to find a solution that works for me. One thing I am trying is adding the HTMLTidy module, but I have not been able to get it successfully installed yet. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I'm having the same issue. Have you been able to find a solution?

I have not. I am now using FCKEditor instead. Some people worked hard to get FCKEditor up and running on Drupal 4.7. You can find their modifications on the FCKEditor Module here: http://drupal.org/node/41288

Try turning off 'verify html'.

In tiny MCE profile settings. Under admin >settings >tiny MCE (edit profile) > Cleanup and output > 'verify HTML' - uncheck this option

Looks like this could be fixed by the patch waiting at http://drupal.org/node/80851

But if you want a quick hack to fix the problem - add the following to line 114 of tinyMCE.module

$settings[] = "apply_source_formatting : true";

This will maintain your pretty html formatting when editing in the default source view.
