Click Bullets, <p> remains

[Curlyshell]

Has something changed in 2020 r2? Suddenly, if I hit Enter and click the Bullets button, I get <p> tags inside the new bullet. It looks like this:

Code: Select all

                        <ul>
                            <li>
                                <p> </p>
                            </li>
                        </ul>

Instead of like this:

Code: Select all

                        <ul>
                            <li>
                                 
                            </li>
                        </ul>

This is a HUGE pain! Now I can't open the style drop-down and choose the list style I want. Nor do I feel like removing the <p>'s every time I start a new list.

Anyone else have the same issue?

I think I remember someone else posting about this but can't find the relevant thread. I think there was a setting in Options to turn off the behaviour?

[ChoccieMuffin]

Yes, there's an option for that.

In the Options dialog box, on the XML Editor tab, in the Defaults group set the defaults for how it behaves. Change Lists from Paragraph to Simple. (I can't believe anyone really thought that was a sensible default behaviour!)

You might want to check the other options while you're there - I haven't worked out what the Paste Text default does, for example.

Thanks, @Chocciemuffin, you rock!

It must have been reset during the upgrade.

The option to select default behaviour was added in the latest release. My only beef is that they decided the default should be the NEW behaviour rather than the EXISTING behaviour. It's a good enhancement IMO, just not totally 100% in its implementation.
