is there line brake fix for TinyMCE Advanced or other solution?

OK, I’ve been digging into this. If this option is enabled, even in HTML mode, every save inserts a <p> before the whole article and a <p> </p> after the whole article. Next time, or when switching to the editor it closes it. Then it inserts an other. So every time you click on save, the page goes like this:

code

<p>
<p>code</p>
<p></p>

<p>
<p>code</p>
</p>
<p></p>

<p></p>
<p>code</p>
</p>
<p></p>

<p>
</p>
<p>code</p>
</p>
<p></p>

< HTML mode stops here

Switching to TinyMCE goes further:

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>code</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>code</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>code</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

The worst thing is that this way somehow TinyMCE Advanced ruins the HTML editor. HTML code should not be changed by a javascript! Do you know any solution?

Guys, really on the big big famous WP blogs, how do you insert multiple blank lines? TinyMCE Advanced is totally broken, hand editing the WP source files is a bad bad idea, what else can I do?

I found this here:

<br class=”blank” />

Thank you. Given there is no other solution I was using the same thing, but with:
<br class=”spacer_”>

It’s not a problem for me, but I just cannot tell someone who knows nothing about HTML to switch to HTML view and insert this line where you find it in the code! If you insert it in TinyMCE it encodes it into entities, what is correct, but useless for us.

No I am actually looking into writing a plugin which puts a button on the toolbar for new line. If anyone knows anything about how to write a plugin like this, can you help me where to start looking?

OK, I found it:

It is qTranslate what inserts a new line before the article everty time I click save! If used without TinyMCE Advanced, then the wordpress cleaner cleans the code, that why it’s not visible. If used with TinyMCE Advanced it saves the linebrakes and converts them into <br class… /> .

So the bug is not in TinyMCE Advanced, it’s just visible when it’s turned on. The bug is in qTranslate!

If I click HTML mode just before clicking save, the bug is not present. Do you know any quick fix for this?

I wrote a plugin that fixes the ‘incompatibility’ between qtranslate and tinymce advanced.

Free for anyones use in unmodified form:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Fix for qTranslate combined with no-remove-extra-line-breaks-option in tinymce-advanced plugin

*/

function fix_p_around_languagetag ($content = '') {
$content = html_entity_decode($content);
$content = str_replace("<p><!--", "<!--", $content);
$content = str_replace("--></p>", "-->", $content);
$content = htmlentities($content);
return $content;
}

add_filter('htmledit_pre', 'fix_p_around_languagetag');
add_filter('richedit_pre', 'fix_p_around_languagetag');
?>

I’m interested by your plugin basz, I would like to try it.
In which file do you put the code ? Thanks for your answer.
