[Plugin: TinyMCE Advanced] extra br and p on page with images

tinymce advanced is giving me a huge headache on a page with a lot of images. it keeps adding <p><br class=”spacer_” /></p> even when there isn’t an extra space.

i just want a bunch of images sandwiched next to each other.

[caption id=”attachment_686″ align=”alignleft” ……. />[/caption]caption id=”attachment_687″ align=”alignleft” ……. />[/caption]caption id=”attachment_688″ align=”alignleft” ……. />[/caption]

etc, etc. which works and looks fine until i click update. then paragraph tags get added before and after each image. Additionally, after each image, two of these are added <p><br class=”spacer_” /></p>

ive seen a few other posts related to this namely https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-tinymce-advanced-inserting-ltpgtltbr-classspacer_-gtltpgt?replies=6

so i know im not the only one. i just wanted to post a “me too” specifically with images.

ive disabled sociable and google ajax translation with no effect.

i want to leave the option “stop removing the <p> and
tags….” on.
