Paragraph and line breaks

I just converted from TinyMCE thinking this would be better and easier but so far I can't believe am not using TinyMCE.
I am having several problems, but am only going to list two of them right now.
I am using CKEditor instead of textareas and then insert the content into my DB but for some reason CKEditor formats it like this

<br />
<p>Line One<p/>
<p>Line Two<p/>
<br />

Which is just retarded, seriously why does it make every new line a new paragraph? And why those it add linebreaks at the start and at the end, obviously I would like it like this,

<p>
Line One<br />
Line Two
</p>

I've looked through every single file for some kind of editing and searched around the web for any help but yet to find anything. That's one problem.
The other problem is that I can't resize the textarea, if I change the value of cols and rows, nothing happens, it stays the same.

Re: Paragraph and line breaks

That's some script on your server that it's doing the conversions. In CKEditor look at Source mode, that's what CKEditor generates, then press submit/save and if it's changed when you get back the data then surely it's a script on your server.

Re: Paragraph and line breaks

Sorry but it's not my script, I looked in the Source Tab and this is what it looks like,

<p>
                Many spaces</p>
<p>
                More spaces</p>

Which converts to

<p><br />
                Many spaces</p>
<p><br />
                More spaces</p>

So it is CKEdit.

CKEditor generates what you see in source mode, afterwards any change to that code isn't done by CKEditor so now you have to find out what code is doing those changes.

Try this: put a textarea instead of CKEditor and use that same source code there.
