It’s not just the SE that has this behaviour, any text from a LC field does the same, with in the IDE and in a standalone, on Mac at least.

Example from text typed into a LC 8.1.0 field:–

Line 1

Line 2

Line 3

Last Line

What LiveCode uses as a paragraph `<p></p>` is more like a `<br />` as in LiveCode it’s represented by a single line break with no vertical whitespace in most html views it will have some vertical whitespace in there. If that’s the case then I’m really not sure how we could work around it in a backwards compatible way.
