What happened to the white space in Articles?

I noticed recently that white space in everyone's articles is missing.

For example if you had a paragraph formatted to end here.
[With a newline here]
And the next paragraph started here, the newline between paragraphs is omitted.

In articles I've written, I've used white space like this:
[Newline]
[Newline]
[Newline]
##### Heading #####
[New line]
[New line]
*** Sub Heading ****
[Newline]
One phrase...
[spaces] ...subordinate phrase
[spaces] ...another subordinate phrase.

That gets rendered now like:
##### Heading #####
*** Sub Heading ****
One phrase...
...subordinate phrase
...another subordinate phrase.

Is everyone else seeing the same thing? IMHO, it makes articles much more difficult to read.

FWIW, looks like the same thing is happening with discussion posts. Curious if it affects comments too.

There should be a new line in between these paragraphs.

*** Three new lines above me ***

One new line above me...
...some space to my left.

yeah, weird, doesn't seem like this is a problem for comments, or reviews. Just posts and discussions.

Looks fine to me. Test. One break below this line.

Then two breaks below this line.


Look right?

And your articles look like they have the appropriate breaks to me too.

OK, thank you all for chiming in. I just tried a few different browsers and got some different results.

In Firefox, I definitely still see this problem with my articles and others.

In Chrome, I don't see the problem, I see whitespace in articles.

In Safari the whitespace looks right too.

So this is just a problem with Firefox I guess. Weird.

The only thing I noticed was in a recent article I couldn't double space it for some reason. That closed up when I published it.

Actually it does it in this post as well. There is supposed to be two spaces between the first one, so it's clearly two words. Let me try triple spacing see what happen.

^ Yeah, I think the render of the space character is busted everywhere.

This line should not be indented.
This line has four spaces in front of it.
This line has eight spaces in front of it.

The last article I posted removed everything I wrote in bold, and all my underlines. That was about it.

Lol, yeah, no doubt it's trump's fault, he made founder do everything that we question, miss, or dislike on TUSCL.

I thought it was CJ Kent’s fault. He considers white space to be inherently racist.

I think founder's got a problem with excessive white space. It gets trimmed in a lot of areas, resulting in what I often find to be hard to read text. It's not always clear if its the author or the site that causes it.
