Dissapearing paragraphs

Hi,

Since upgrading to RH8 and having to modify the styles I get a problem where if a paragraph is inserted some of the content below vanishes. I have to undo the insert and fiddle around with paragraphs to get things to work,

Any ideas anyone?

    Have you installed all the patches? There were some vanishing text/topics bugs fixed in both although I can't remember the exact details.

    My copy of RH8 has been updated to 8.0.2 at the time it was announced...

    Could you tell us a bit more about the styles you are using in these paragraphs and how they are set-up. I ask because from your example your paragraphs are numbered yet when you are adding an additional paragraph you are adding a carriage return which should continue the numbering. Yours doesn't.

    Hi,

    Does this happen with all paragraphs, specific paragraphs or does it happen completely random?

    What happens in html view? Do you see the code for the paragraph and doesn't is simply show in WYSIWYG? Or is the other paragraph completely removed, also from html view?

    Second, exactly what do you do to get your old paragraph back and to insert the extra paragraph?

    Folks,

    Here is a typical sequence of screens to illustrate the problem:

    I now add a paragraph...

    I decide I don't want it and delete it. As a result the paragraph a couple of paras below vanishes!!

    Can you share a sample small project which could reproduce this issue even a 1 topic project will do
