stupid text format issue

I was having the problem, where I couldn’t use the space bar to indent text a few clicks. it shows up good in the visual editor, but won’t save properly. I never did get that solved.

NOW – I can’t press return key and have the spaces show up on the actual page!

I’ve tried putting
in the html editor, but that isn’t even seeming to work 100% of the time.

WTF is going on???

how do I fix this?

it was working before – I didn’t change any settings – how do I get it working right???

thanks
