TinyMCE adds empty headline after caption

[firebird75]

How to reproduce this issue :

1. Add a title tag with <h2></h2> for instance, <h2>My Title</h2> in text mode.
2. Switch to visual mode and add a centered picture with a caption
3. Put the cursor at the beginning of the heading H2 line and press enter to add a blank line
4. Switch to text mode, the code will look like this :

   <h2></h2>
   <h2>My Title</h2>
   

TinyMCE has added a blank <h2></h2>

This is browser dependent: happens only in IE. This is the way IE works in contentEditable mode. The same behavior is in MS Word.

I believe I have also seen this problem with other browsers as I am not using IE for WordPress posts edition...

Can't reproduce that in Chrome or FF on Win7. In either case it is a behavior that can be normalized in TinyMCE. There is an option to enable it in all browsers that is not used by default in WordPress.

Going to re-close this as worksforme. If you want it enabled in all browsers, you'll need a small plugin to add that setting to the TinyMCE init. If you want it disabled in all browsers, the only way I see is to open an enhancement request on the TinyMCE website (not sire if it's possible to disable this in IE).

I am using FF 31.0.

I have made some additional test. Designmode is "off" (checked in Firebug). And still the problem shows up.

I understand that this issue isn't really critical but having some empty <h2></h2> can seem kind of spammy...
