# List item-spacing wackiness

 * Since I’ve upgraded to 2.1.2 from 2.0.9, I’ve experienced some bizarre behavior
   with my lists (unordered, ordered) whenever I edit or write a post.
 * The first item in a list formats correctly, but the second item is oddly spaced.
   It’s either got an extra linefeed or loses the linefeed entirely so it runs into
   the first item. The lines after that will format correctly.
 * Even when I go into code and fix things, everything looks fine, but when I switch
   back to the visual editor, it’s messed up again. Switching back to code shows
   the problem’s returned. Sometimes the second item looks okay, but then the third
   item is crammed onto the back of it! There’s no sense to the error.
 * When I go into code and add `<br />`s or `<p></p>`to try to force the lines, 
   the editor just tosses those away and returns to mangling my lists.
 * This is driving me nuts since I can’t get my lists to look right.
 * Thanks in advance for the help!
