What kind of an answer is that?
We (web developers) know how to ad/remove (X)HTML tags and other stuff, but this bug prevents normal users (those who don’t know HTML) to effectively user wordpress.
Please fix it.
BTW I’ve ended up editing js code, removing wpautop from both wp code and tinyMCE wp plugins. A lot of work for what?
Just look at how many thread related to “new line break” “stripped paragraph” and so on are on this trac.
People is getting crazy with this broken visual editor.
