I think I finally figured out my formatting problems with Blogger. It's Zemanta!
I've been using Zemanta for a while and never had any problems until recently, unless you count all my images vanishing when I added related articles in Windows Live Writer - but they fixed that. Overall, I love Zemanta. It sits there right beside my compose window and suggests related images and articles, and links and tags, though I don't usually use those. If it doesn't have anything that catches my eye, I can use 'Refine' to search for specific things. It really is handy.
But now, suddenly, it's causing problems. I never would have noticed if I hadn't disabled it yesterday because it was sitting on top of an email I wanted to read, and I couldn't figure out how to get rid of it. Once it was disabled, my formatting and line breaks started working again. I thought Blogger was fixed! And then, I re-enabled Zemanta so I could use it - to add related content - and all my lovely line breaks disappeared! My 'Enter' key stopped working in 'Compose' mode, and I had to go back to the 'Edit HTML' tab to accomplish anything. While writing this post I have enabled, disabled, and re-enabled Zemanta (or is that disabled, re-enabled, and re-disabled?) just to test my theory. Yep, the culprit really is Zemanta.
I've been using the browser extension, but apparently there's a new Blogger gadget, so I'm going to have to figure out how to add that and see if it makes a difference. In the meantime, I would much appreciate it if Zemanta would fix this issue. Thank you.
