List field behavior

Using Rev 2.1.2 on Mac OS 9 & X, the results are NOT the same here: 
Put empty leaves a blank line; delete removes the line.  I guess 
Jacque was right about a bug...though I thought you said you were 
working with v2.1, and I'm surprised that kind of an error could 
persist that long.

Same here.
