I encountered a known problem while installing tiny mce on expression engine, transforming new lines to br or p tags.
TinyMce extra br and p near new lines bug
Stardate 101.2010 Captain's Log
Supplemental
When i speak of newline I mean \n\r or chr(13)+chr(10). I saw that the "bug" appeared on different platforms like blogspot, joomla anywhere where tinymce exists.
It's a known problem, but i didn`t found an actual solution on google. People that use br and not paragraphs resolved it with
- force_br_newlines : true,
- forced_root_block : '',
but i wanted paragraphs not line breaks.
First i thought the problem was the expression engine so i disabled the formatting option at the "custom weblog field" to "none"(instead of xhtml or auto <br /> (from cpanel and from all previous entries).
No change, then i tried to modify tinymce's settings, still nothing.
Then i pinned down the problem : when i edit an entry, tiny mce automatically transforms the ascii "newline" to <br /> or <p> </p>. I checked the database, the field text was good (only <p>'s and normal newlines). I tried with Opera and Firefox ... the problem persisted. When you hit "Edit entry" you can see double spaces between paragraphs, and when i hit "html" source from the tiny mce bars ("code" button) there they were : lots of line breaks over all newlines.
What is happening :
//you enter
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetuer a ut ut hendrerit Sed. Maecenas justo.</p>
<p>In sit justo ipsum Vestibulum a semper orci Pellentesque nibh pulvinar. Pretium In et elit tincidunt mauris nisl dui sed Sed est. Duis sed.</p>
//and becomes
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetuer a ut ut hendrerit Sed. Maecenas justo.</p>
<br /><p>In sit justo ipsum Vestibulum a semper orci Pellentesque nibh pulvinar. Pretium In et elit tincidunt mauris nisl dui sed Sed est. Duis sed.</p>
//or
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetuer a ut ut hendrerit Sed. Maecenas justo.</p>
<p> </p><p>In sit justo ipsum Vestibulum a semper orci Pellentesque nibh pulvinar. Pretium In et elit tincidunt mauris nisl dui sed Sed est. Duis sed.</p>
I read and set all the tiny mce related settings, but still nothing :
- convert_newlines_to_brs: "false",
- force_p_newlines: "true",
- force_br_newlines : "false",
- remove_redundant_brs : "true",
- remove_linebreaks : "true",
- forced_root_block : "",
I found a workaround with a custom cleanup, that before the submit removes all the line breaks from the input, is kinda cruel but if you are desperate it works (i think, i didn't tested it).
function CustomCleanup(type, content) {
switch (type) {
// gets passed when user submits the form
case "get_from_editor":
content = content.replace(/<br \/>/gi, "\n"); // would be nice if this replace only replaces the brs in a pre block. bur for the moment it is ok.
break;
// gets passed when new content is inserted into the editor
case "insert_to_editor":
break;
}
return content;
}
tinyMCE.init({
...
cleanup_callback : "myCustomCleanup"
});
Finally the solution
After some swearing time and play around with this settings it came to me what i did wrong, the settings were boolean type, and i gived them string values.
Ok let me explain it, convert_newlines_to_brs: false is good, convert_newlines_to_brs: "false" is actual convert_newlines_to_brs: true or convert_newlines_to_brs: "anything-here"
So, actual is not a bug, just a bad setting and the solution is : convert_newlines_to_brs: false , without the double quotes.
Morale : when you are in a hurry to fix something, return to it after a break

You are the only one that has this (deceptively simple) fix for this issue. I have been running around the web looking for this answer… and you’re right… Just needed to take a break. 
Thanks!
