FWIW: A number of issues were coming from bad data in my Chrome cache. Reloading the browser did nothing, and things just got worse until I eventually couldn't even see the pop-up windows (like view HTML source)..

I knew it was me because it was only happening in my default browser. After finally purging the cache all the glitches went away and I can't make it produce a <p> tag now without asking for one. (Yay!)

Huzzah! That makes a difference for sure!

Thanks very much!

The only oddity I've noticed now is that if someone adds a trailing space before ending a line it starts a paragraph.

Since typing a space before hitting enter is 'erroneous' I'm fine with a strange result. wink

Yeowtch.. I seem to have problems loading inits

I've loaded 3.5 with:

forced_root_block : 'false',

And it has no effect?

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">This is a</span><br /><br /></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">test<br /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">with&nbsp;<br /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">forced_root_block<br /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">set&nbsp;<br /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">to&nbsp;<br /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">false<br /></span></p>

I was expecting/hoping to get:
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">This is a <br />test <br />with <br />forced_root_block <br />set <br />to <br />false<br /></span></p>

Your reply would make more sense if I was 'blaming' anything or had control over the client portal software's CSS.

I'm merely stating a simple fact that my user base would use TinyMCE more readily if the feature to reverse the functionality of shift+enter was available or even accessible via some documentation.

Read into that what you want, it's a very simple fact.

From a semantics point of view the above markup makes a lot more sense.

The output of TinyMCE works GREAT for viewing locally, when we post the same HTML data to our client portal their CSS leaves it looking


a bit hard to


read because of


all the wicked double


spaced paragraphs.


If we use shift+enter the result looks good locally in our 'tools' and it looks great on the client portal so this is why I say 'for our needs' flipping that around would solve 'our' issue. smile

Made sense at the time, still does.

Would it be nice to help the users make an unordered list? YES this is true in both the client portal and our 'tools' .. same with almost all of TinyMCE's plugins.

So TinyMCE is a great asset to us, but we can't control the client portal's layout/css so we have to hold down shift as we hit enter if we expect the message may get posted externally.

We could debate everyone else's needs, semantics, opinions, etc.. But what I am pointing out is accurate and we would benefit from knowing how to reverse the shift-enter logic or an option to reverse it.

We recommend using shift+br if you enter text in uncommon elements like <label>. The default should always be paragraphs since normal text consists of paragraphs.

Finally! .. I've tried all the suggested flags for tinymce's init section and they only seem to break the init, and only work on the jsFiddle copy of tinymce? (I'm using Version: 3.4.7 (2011-11-03))

This shift-enter is great but here's how I have to use it.

Hello Mike,<shift-enter>How are you doing today?<enter>I have more information on your issue:<shift-enter>XYZ is at 30%<shift-enter>ABC is at 12%<shift-enter> ...

See how efficient it would be to switch the function around so that I only have to shift-enter when I want a new paragraph, and otherwise I'll get a <BR>?

Any way I could do this easily?
