New description:

 While testing out my plugins against 5.5, there has been a breaking change
 in the post editor: while in CODE EDITOR mode (note: not visual editor)
 mode, the instant the mouse focus is taken out of the content box, it
 appends <br /> tags at the end of every line.  This is expected with
 the visual editor, but not with the code editor.  The regression breaks
 the functionality of my plugin.
