Post Formatting Mess Up

Hi, not sure if I am posting this in the right place, whether its public or personal? However, here goes.

I am trying my best not to be insultive here by just asking:

Who's bright idea was it to not allow spaces between paragraphs.

Every time I press Enter, (and the same is happening here.) There's enough space to add another line. Resulting in no space between paragraphs. I am intentionally going to make this sentence long to see how big the space it. And now click the enter button.

And the massive space appears again. But what if I just want to start a new line after a short statement? It has a massive gap. So if I reduce the cpace between the lines so the text looks okay. There is then no spacing between paragraphs. So its currently impossible to make my lines correctly spaced?

The only top margin space is (apart from paragraphs) if I use headings.

Any ideas how to get myself out of this dillema?

I mean, if I start a new line like I just did, there's a massive space again. Space as if I had started a new paragraph.

Which is just too big.

And the script , although shows <br><br> in the code, does'nt honor them on the front end.

And when I eventually get users... I don't want to ask them, and they would do a runner if I did... to add line breaks between paragraphs. even if that was possible.

I mean, look at my post here. Its ridiculously spaced. Simply because I don't have the choice to add a line space?

Any ideas how to fix it. Thanks. I'm using the 14.0.1 version of Posts plugin.

Much appreciated. And apologies for the abrupt start to this post. Thanks
