Description

Author: michael.schliephake

Description:
The Wiki input:

Line 1 Line 2

Line 3

...

}

Line 1 Line 2 
Line 3

produces HTML-Source (somewhat beautified) :

<h3>line-break test</h3>

Line 1 
Line 2 
Line 3

...

Line 1 
Line 2 
Line 3

I would not expect a paragraph (...) for "Line 3" in the table cell. This
leads to an additonal empty space between Line 2 and Line 3 in the table.

Detected in version 1.6.8. It exists still in the current version and was tested
in the Sandbox of the MediaWiki-Site (V1.9 alpha).

Version: 1.9.x
Severity: minor

This bug is even more evident when using HTML tables instead of wiki markup. Say:

Line 1 
Line 2 
Line 3 
Line 4

Instead of producing the exact same thing in the HTML source, produces this:

Line 1 
Line 2 
Line 3 
Line 4

If a linebreak is inserted before </td>:

Line 1 
Line 2 
Line 3 
Line 4

The tag in the HTML source appears after the last line:

Line 1 
Line 2 
Line 3 
Line 4

It appears that in a table cell, everything right after the first line and before the last is interpreted as a new paragraph by MediaWiki.

This is just a special case of bug 5718 (when the block-level elements causing the trouble are table cells <td>), marking as duplicate.
