legacy content in code editor is a mess

    When a long page was created with the classic editor and is then edited with Gutenberg, in the code editor, all the blank lines separating paragraphs, images, etc. get removed – making it just one huge mass of text that is incredibly difficult to read and work on.

    Hi,

    Sorry about the lat response, we’ve improved the classic editor block a bit since then, and I am not able to replicate this issue any more.

    Please let us know if you are still able to do so, and maybe some screenshots to visualize with if possible!

    Yep, it seems to be fixed now ??

    Oops… It seems that the problem actually still exists, but if you simply switch to the visual editor then switch back to the code editor then the page is a lot more readable. The smushing together of everything seems to only happen when WP converts a page to Gutenberg, so this is probably not a big deal as long as there’s a way to fix it (although just how to fix it is not obvious).

    My apologies … looks like the ultimate cause of this is that the WordPress draft privacy page is all smushed together out of the box, unlike the sample or hello world pages. The problem does not seem to be Gutenberg.
