Line breaks automatically being deleted in RH2022.4 output

[sprite253]

I use RH 2022. After the most recent upgrade to version 2022.4.179, my responsive HTML output automatically removes all line breaks from the content. So, all the white space I used in the content to increase readability disappears, and everything is just scrunched up. Adobe responded by saying it's a bug in 2022.4 and suggesting I use the   element as a workaround. However, it only temporarily changes the output and automatically gets deleted whenever I close and reopen the topic. Does anyone have any suggestions until Adobe resolves this issue? Also, this happens to all output formats - PDF, Word, Frameless, etc.

Anyway, (again) many thanks for the quick fix.

Just an additional note:

for disappearing empty rows in a table, the fix is similar: just add to the CSS file for instance:

td:empty {
/*Enter desired values*/
padding-top: 12.5px;
padding-bottom: 12.5px;
}

Thank you for posting that additional bit of code.

Apologies for further edits to this post,

The issue I am reporting here is only if the dropdown is in a table.

If you go to a previously created dropdown and try to add a new paragraph at the end of the content, the hotspot may get deleted.

The workround for now is to add the <p>x</p> tags in source view where x can be any character. An empty P tag did not work.

I have advised Adobe.

UPDATE 11 June 2024 - i have since established the dropdowns in a table is a separate issue not connected with the code to fix the line break issue. This too has been reported to Adobe.
