Comment:

 lloydbudd - you are right on point here. Many people have mistaken this
 bug for another... where if you want to add extra space between
 paragraphs, "dummy" <p>&nbsp;</p> or <p> or <br /> tags are stripped. That
 is a minor annoyance but not the subject of this bug.

 All my clients are tearing out their hair and running around with their
 heads cut off because of the actual bug here, which you are right to label
 as "severity:blocker".

 '''If you open any post in safari 3, it removes ALL new lines, whether
 from <p> tags or <br /> tags. Basically it condenses the entire post body
 into a single paragraph.''' This is as you can imagine extremely
 frustrating and completely unacceptable for that portion of the population
 that writes in paragraphs. It occurs (i believe) at the moment you save,
 AND at the moment you switch from rich text to code view.

 Some of my users are reporting this issue in Firefox also, and I've seen
 similar comments on various blogs... however it's hard to say if they are
 referring to the same issue, and not the similar but less urgent one I
 describe at the top of this comment. I wasn't able to reproduce the main
 bug in Firefox.

 lloydbudd or anyone else... I'm seeing this on 2.3.2, and if it's a
 TinyMCE issue, it looks to me like no WP developer is dealing with it. Can
 we do a hack of some sort or even disable TinyMCE for Safari 3? Many users
 are upgrading to Safari 3 now that Leopard is out, and this really is a
 showstopper for them.

 Forgive me but i'm upping this to "highes omg bbq" and Milestone 2.3.3 -
 please revert back if that's inappropriate but people are literally
 screaming at me about this. I just don't want anyone to think this is a
 minor or resolved issue.
