Latest upgrade and strange spacing - can fix?

Post by t8769999 »

Since the latest upgrade, the normal spacing between lines of text has gone.
Instead of the usual spacing, as in Word, where one line follows another underneath, now there is a double space.
If press delete and go back - then the line below appears normally - below.

Its very confusing and annoying and I'd like to get back just plain old normal spacing between lines of text - as in Word or any other word processor.

Anyone know how to fix this?


Many thanks

Menu path Tools->Options->Composition->General->uncheck "When using paragraph format, the enter key creates a new paragraph."

Yeah... this worked for me too.

During the #44, #45 and #46 T-Bird updates my compositioning of my emails became very different.
Unable to determine how to fix it, I just had to fix each email I sent.
Finally, I discovered this forum and the answers to the same questions that confronted me, esp after the most recent 3 upgrades, I found answers here.

These recent 3 updgrades have been disturbing to what otherwise has been a very satisfactory and peaceful existence using T-Bird.

Not all change is good.
