I have to modify, and often shift-enter to be sure. What gives?

Two Carriage Returns (enter twice) or two Line Feeds (shift-enter twice) works fine for putting a blank line between separate paragraphs or chunks of text like in this post, or are you talking about something else?
Are you expecting auto-indenting on the first line of each paragraph and a gap with no blank line between paragraphs? :dunno
- That type of auto-formatting is often found in word-processors, but AFAIK is not available in any forum software.
What keystroke(s) are you trying to use for paragraph breaks?
Are you typing on a keyboard or are you using tapatalk?

Keyboard, wired. I enter twice to paragraph. Press 'post' and often it will clip the space between the lines. Modifying and pressing enter to re-make the space will often get clipped again on 'post'. Have to modify and shift-enter.

I don't know why the forum is doing that to your posts. :dunno
The oddest part is that it doesn't do it consistently. If the forum software rejects/clips the ASCII keycode for enter (13), it seems like it would do that every time. :banghead:
For further troubleshooting, the only things that I can think of are:
1. Try posting with shift-enters. (Line Feeds)
- Might be the easiest workaround.
2. Try a different keyboard.
- Your current keyboard may be sending some unusual/spurious keycodes or modifiers.
-- Enter is 13
-- Left-shift is 160
-- Right-shift is 161
- You can view and compare keycodes using a keyboard test program like this one (http://kadevice.net/loader/utils/keyboard_tester_v0_1_0_8.zip) that Jon wrote for KADE. Related thread here (http://www.kadevice.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=428).

All the codes are correct, with no drops. I don't know.

Just thought of something. Could this be a keycode issue or some conversion of Unicode formatting? Special events like an end line or carriage return are often a two byte code in some languages and certain file formats. Mind you the first byte is typically empty but it'll cause issues for search and replace functions.
I have no clue what's on the back-end... I'm just spit-balling.

Do you mean something different than PL1 mentioned?

I've noticed you tend to respond to posts like 3 to 4 after everyone quits talking. So my thought was quit interacting with the forum using the WABAC machine. :)

Mr. Peabody - what OS and what browser are you using?

Windows 7 and Firefox latest (with Ghostery and https-everywhere). This happens only here, though I haven't tried another machine nor keyboard.

You silly. Depends on the topic and when I visit.

No incident in the last few times. No incident on other machines. I will post if another occurrence.....
