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)
 * I think that the relevant diff is http://masseffect.wikia.com/index.php?title=Kaidan_Alenko&diff=next&oldid=42004 --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 16:46, 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)
