I turned off all plugins (save ACF) and it does the same thing. I switched to WYSIWYG instead of text area and the behaviour is the same.
This is only happening in ACF, p and br behave as expected in the post’s regular body copy.
ETA:
Actually, I misdiagnosed the issue. It’s not that ACF is turning p into br+br. Rather, it is stuck on “auto br” and it not honoring changes to that new line value even though it will say “auto p” or “no formatting”
I duplicated as ‘fieldname2’ and with the same text copied, it works as it should.
So how can I unstick this?
