This is a QA test. In this paragraph are three lines.

These lines are separated by line breaks.

When I'm typing this up, I'm writing a sentence, then hitting the ENTER key to go to the next line, and in the comment writing box there is no spacing between the lines.

-

Now here's a new paragraph, in which I followed the last paragraph with hitting the ENTER key twice.

We expect to see a wider gap between this paragraph and the last.

However, there was no difference, and so I put a dash at the end of each paragraph to indicate the different paragraphs.

-

Now trying something different, I just hit the ENTER key three times after the end of the last paragraph.

Still the same. The results of this QA test indicate that the newest Minor Formatting Update might prove problematic for poetry posts, and comments containing a mix of lists and paragraphs.

Also, given the stark difference between 1) how this comment appears in the text box while I'm writing/editing and 2) the posted comment, this formatting update does not appear to be WYSIWYG.
