In the new composer, type something and press return.

Actual: The new composer inserts a double-line paragraph break.

Expected: When I press return once, it should insert a single-line break, converting it to a paragraph break when I use two lines.

I sense that maybe the Discourse developers actually like it this way, but it’s really bad. No rich-text editor I’ve ever used does it Discourse’s way.

At a minimum, there should be a way to turn this paragraph behavior off.
