Component:  Formatting   |   Keywords:  password, extra brake tags in
 Severity:  normal       |  get_the_password_form, wpautop

 The brief explanation of the problem:
 http://wordpress.org/support/topic/extra-in-get_the_password_form

 Upon further investigation, I was able to determine that the culprit is
 actually the wpautop() function (file wp-includes/formatting.php), line
 188 - $allblocks - as of wp3.1 RC3:

 {{{
 function wpautop($pee, $br = 1) {

         if ( trim($pee) === '' )
                 return '';
         $pee = $pee . "\n"; // just to make things a little easier, pad
 the end
         $pee = preg_replace('|<br />\s*<br />|', "\n\n", $pee);
         // Space things out a little
         $allblocks =
 '(?:table|thead|tfoot|caption|col|colgroup|tbody|tr|td|th|div|dl|dd|dt|ul|ol|li|pre|select|option|form|map|area|blockquote|address|math|style|input|p|h[1-6]|hr|fieldset|legend|section|article|aside|hgroup|header|footer|nav|figure|figcaption|details|menu|summary)';
 }}}

 The output from get_the_password_form() goes through wpautop() and extra
 <br /> tags are inserted before each <input> tag.

 I hope this is not a feature.
