[SOLVED] TinyMCE always adds empty paragraph after saving the page

[wbmnfktr]

As the title pretty much says... my TinyMCE always adds an almost empty paragraph (containing only a nbsp) after saving the page.

I have to manually remove it via Source Code view to have it fixed for that moment. The next time I edit the content the paragraph gets added again. In total I have to save a page twice.

I tried to find a setting or plugin that does that and even disabled lazy loading. No chance.

The only setting that fixes this issue is using the inline editor and not the normal editor. 
But that's not really an option.

Has anyone encountered this issue as well or maybe even knows a nicer fix for it?

[BEST SOLUTION FOR ME SO FAR]

Not a real fix, but you could activate these two options:

Remove empty paragraph texts
Remove non-breaking spaces

You find them inside the input-tab of your field > Beautify Markup Toggles

I had the same issue with imported text from an API. They were using pseudo-elements inside empty headline tags as visual spacers.

I do not think that there is solution as TinyMCE writes that this is a feature and the editor would not work without this annoying behaviour... I wrote a function that deletes the first and the last <p>...

Woah... yes! They do the trick for me.
These settings are hidden pretty good.

@cpx3maybe you try the above mentioned setting. It works for me in my current setup.

 

On a side note: just noticed that this issue doesn't occure in Firefox (115.0.2) and only in Chrome-/Chromium-based browsers.

For me it did not change anything. It starts and ends with a useless <p> that destroys the layout.

Is it a field inside a repeater matrix? Sometimes you need to save the repeater field again, after changing the ck-editor-configs.

No, it is always. Whenever I paste or write a text in TinyMCE, it adds <p> and </p>...

Are you talking about a wrapping <p>content</p> or are you talking about a trailing paragraph: ... content ... <p>&nbsp;</p> ?

I talk about the useless additional <p>content</p> wrap. 🙂

@Pete got this message a while back:

Where would I find this? I can't see it in this thread or in edit view.

I also get these from time to time and find them quite annoying. I just delete them. Would be great to disable these emails 🙂
