“Invalid HTML” errors and blank lines added to posts

It seems that lately when I reply to forum topics, I'll type my reply using Rich Text, no special formatting, just normal text and when I click Post it will tell me to "correct errors" and that it removed invalid HTML, even though I didn't put any HTML in or even used any formatting features.  If I then go into HTML view, I'll find the end of my post contains many blank lines at the end (<p>&nbsp;</p> repeated many times).  I edit those out and click post and then it works.

 

I use the Brave Browser on iPadOS 16.4.1 to post here.  I turned Brave Shields off for this site to type this post, to see if it's browser related.  I could try Safari as well.  I used to use Firefox on Windows but ever since they switched to 2FA I only use my iPad to log in here since the 2FA only remembers one device.

 

I'm about to click post, let's see what happens here.  I'll reply with findings.

Re: “Invalid HTML” errors and blank lines added to posts

Initial post worked fine.  Now typing a reply to see what happens.

 

Typing more.

Typing more.

This is only a test.

Clicking Post now.

 

Editing post.  Issue didn't happen.  Maybe Brave shields were breaking the site?
