FCK Deletes <br /> before </p>

Hi,

I've noticed the same problem but only seems to be an issue in IE (both 6 and 7)
Works fine in firefox.

The problem is when inserting a single <br/> before a closing </p>
Its gets deleted. You have to enter 2 carriage returns to get 1 which is very
confusing for our users.

I have almost the same problem with FCK 2.4 removing <br /> tags in all version of IE.
I found out that doesn't matter what you do right after any closing tags (ex: </font>, </strong> ....) <br /> is removed.

For Example:
In Editor mode Typing following
FCKEditor

Give 'FCK' A <strong> tag, then right after K "SHIFT-ENTER"

Now switch to Source View It should give this => <p><strong>FCK</strong><br>Editor</p>
but is actually gives <p><strong>FCK</strong>Editor</p> without <br />

I tried with all different kinds of the closing tags ex: </font>, </em>, </u>.....

I know that 2 carriage returns will fix it. But please someone come up a solution without use to hit Enter twice when they only want to go down one line.

Someone out there has to be smarter than me. Thanks in front to all.

I think it is good that FCKeditor removes this (unnecessary) br tag.
When you put a character behind that br tag, it doesnt get removed.

And when you look at the output, it really doesn't matter if there's a br tag or not...

I am having this same problem, and it does affect how things look. Try saving from IE and from Firefox. The Firefox version will read the <br /> tag, adding an extra line, whereas the IE version won't read it and removes that tag, so each paragraph looses a line at the end.

This is a major bug in my optinion because it creates 2 very different looking pages, depending on whether you used FF or IE to edit the page. Somewhere, it is IE is stripping that tag, and we should be able to turn that off.
