Forum:Random Gaps After Editing

0 I have a strange problem when editing pages on wikia sites. After saving an edit on certain pages, random spaces appear that I did not add (as in spaces between paragraphs). Since they appear after I edit and I don't add them in myself, they're also problematic to correct. This issue is causing a little irritation since other editors must manually remove the gaps. I've looked around and no one else appears to have reported this problem. I usually use the wikicode flash window to edit and I'm running Mozilla firefox with NoScript, though i've set it to allow wikia and wikia sites. Does anyone know what's up? --TheWilsonator 15:53, October 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * To see what happened, we need a link to a diff page where it happened and if you were using the New editor. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 16:15, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * Link would be nice, I'm using FF noscript/Adblock/WikEd and it's running fine. What's the wikicode flash window? Random Time  16:16, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

I was indeed using the new editor, though switched to wikicode. I meant to say Javascript rather than Flash, whatever I was assuming the new editor runs on. Thanks for the suggestions so far, I'll see if turning off the new editor makes any difference. --TheWilsonator 16:21, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

 * Turning off the RTF editor seems to have solved the problem. It was slow and annoying to use and I always switched to wikicode view anyway. Still, rather unusual problem- especially since no one else seems to have reported a similar issue.--TheWilsonator 16:53, October 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * Wilson, sounds like something I had when the RTF editor was first introduced. However, if it is still occurring now, it might be best to Contact the Community Team since this might be a bug that needs to be looked at. --DaNASCAT 17:23, October 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, I've reported the RTE adding empty lines multiple times at Forum:New Visual Editor: Problems and Suggestions but there was never a reply. Granted, I mostly noticed it adding empty lines before and after templates but it's likely a similar issue. -- Porter21 (talk) 02:46, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * RTE stinks at retaining formatting, a better editor if you want more wikicode features (including code highlighting, find and replace and Javascript show preview is WikEd - I can't live without it, having a JavaScript show preview box makes editing and seeing changes much faster Random Time  17:54, October 24, 2009 (UTC)

We're actually working on reworking the editor at the moment, and hopefully it should avoid these issues. (We know of the spacing issues, and we have been trying to get them all fixed.) 10:36, October 26, 2009 (UTC)
