There seems to be an excessively wide line spacing even with only a single Return at the end of a line which makes posts look strange but there is more going on that appears to result in strange formatting.
The formatting - except for the excessive line spacing - seems to work OK if you're writing new text in either WYSIWYG or Markdown modes but as soon as you start copying and pasting from an earlier post, it all seems to get messed up because the copy and paste picks up a load of html-like formatting that the act seems to be inserted after you have pressed the **Add Comment** button.
In other words, what seems to be Markdown when you have entered and formatted it seems to have html syntax wrapped around it after it has been posted and appeared in the forum.
Copying and pasting this back into a new post makes the formatting look inconsistent
