Small Bug in Final Paragraph

There is a small bug in the TinyMCE editor that has caused me to keep it deactivated, unless and until I need special features it provides. (Like table editing. Thanks!)
It provides a ton of useful features, though, so it would great if the bug weren’t there.

The bug occurs for the last paragraph in a post, if that paragraph has an attribute.

So for <p class=”myclass”>…</p>, what is rendered on screen is:
<p

class=”myclass”>…</p>

In other words, you get two paragraphs, with the tag and it’s attribute displayed, rather than rendered.

(That affects me, because I apply a small-font “copyright” style to the last line of every post.)

My workaround for a while was to add an extra paragraph at the end of every post. But that puts a gap between the rendered text and the rest of the page, which doesn’t look all that good.

Once I identified TinyMCE-advanced as the plugin that was causing the problem, a better solution was to keep it deactivated until I need it, and then be sure to deactivate it again before my final save.
