Is there a bug in the Visual Editor?
-
Count me as one of those who is tired of the visual editor bug! I must spend 10-15 minutes every day taking those darned extra spaces ( ) out of my blog. I take them out, and they return on their own. Very frustrating! I use Safari and type my posts directly in WordPress. The spaces happen around my photos.
My blog is: http://susansternberg.wordpress.com/. Thanks for the help!

I’m having similar problems where, I embed soundcloud code into HTML, go into visual and the player is there, pop back into HTML or publish and the embed code has shortened making the track invisible to crawl bots from music aggregators and leaving that wonderful   at the end of the post.
Meaning although the soundcloud player is visible to play on my blog, the track isn’t getting picked up elsewhere. My blog is on Hype Machine, Shuffler FM and El.Bows, but without this problem being resolved, all new posts with soundcloud tracks are invisible to these music aggregators :(

Are you using any kind of styling I should know about?
I am using “letras capitales” or initials.
Some screenhots:

OK, checked and it’s still happening with HR tags.
Thanks for the code screens.
I’ll keep working with it to find test cases.

@markel, I put up a “paste from Word” post on my test blog (your name in the title). http://flippintestblog.wordpress.com/2010/10/19/paste-from-word-for-markel/
What I did:
1. copied the stuff from Word
2. clicked on “paste from Word and pasted it in
3. tons of extra blank lines between paragraphs
4. switched from Visual to HTML and back and the extra lines appear to be gone
5. switch back to HTML view and what you will find is that randomly, after paragraphs that were in italics (< em >) you will find em starting and ending tags with a nbsp in between them.
6. if you look at what is published on the blog, those em tags with the nbsp in between do not show up, but they are there in the HTML and to keep things clean I have to go in and edit all of them out.As I said, this happens on both wordpress.com and with self-hosted blogs.
Go into the editor on that post and switch to the HTML tab and take a look.

It’s not Firefox that was causing this; it’s cross-browser.
We’re doing everything we can to get it fixed up for you.

I was refer to this thread becaus i have problem keeping space between line and paragraph
Thing was looking good, i made some change in the HTML part section and save.
Preview was looking good.
I return to the visual section, i simply recenter one line.
i save from the vidual editor
When i preview again, a bunch of <div> </div> just repear in the HTML section causing all my text to collapse,

I’ve been having this
extra space problem for a couple of weeks. It’s definitely NOT fixed and is very annoying. I hope you guys sort it out soon. It happens whether I’m using Firefox, Chrome or IE. I have to keep going back in and deleting in HTML view. Thanks in advance!

Last I heard was that WP was working on a temporary fix for some of the issues, but ultimately they are at the mercy of the makers of the TinyMCE editor. They are the ones that will have to make the real fixes and they seem slow getting the job done as near as I can tell.

I have real hard time editing my blog article, this time the paste feature didn’t work
I have try editing using IE9
Will try with chrome, it seem to behave a little bit better
I’m still pleague with the DIV
-
Don’t use IE9 for anything other than playing around with. It is BETA (as in not finished and still buggy). Never use a beta browser for any sort of productive activity such as blog posting/editing.
