 * I’ve discovered a new problem to me using WP. When I edit pages or posts in HTML
   mode it is treating newlines like I entered a 
   , which is really annoying, and
   IMO wrong. Was never a problem before which is why I always edited my posts in
   HTML mode exclusively. Now when I copy and paste text from something like wordpad,
   the ends of lines are being interpreted by WP as a linebreak, which they are 
   not. Why did this behavior change in WP3? Any setting or something I can switch
   to make it stop doing this and correctly treat the HTML as I wrote it?
