 In the TinyMCE editor, select an entire paragraph of text and click the
 Insert/Edit Link button.  Enter a URL or select a page and Insert Link.
 Look at the resulting HTML(Text) view now.  You'll see that the link tag
 has surrounded the entire paragraph so that it look like this:

 <a href="testurl">Test

 </a>

 The HTML should simply be
 <a href="testurl">Test</a>

 If you update the page without looking at the HTML view, it produces extra
 spacing when you actually view the page.  The resulting HTML of the live
 page in Chrome looks like:

 <p><a href="testurl">Test</p>
 <p></a></p>

 The only way to get rid of the extra spacing is to manually edit the HTML
 in the TinyMCE editor and Update again.  Certainly not ideal for the
 average WordPress user.
