Hi.  
I wrote a message like this:

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/c/8/c88b1d06e15ba54e3893c4c60c122e178d27e690.png)

When I add a new line between the URL and the image, the vertical space on the preview disappears:

That’s odd and a bit counter-intuitive.

I am pretty sure this was reported before:

If no blank line is between the links the spacing is significantly greater than if a blank line is provided. https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-2-0-0-beta4-release-notes/82446 https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-2-0-0-beta5-release-notes/83881 https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-2-0-0-beta4-release-notes/82446 https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-2-0-0-beta5-release-notes/83881 cc @aweso…
