Microtiny <p> since last 1.11.11 upgrade

Micro tiny content areas used to allow the ability to manually remove (via ticking 'View html' box) an unwanted <p> </p> from around text or an image for example.

Since 1.11.11 - it is wrapping any content in <p> </p> and even if you manually remove, upon the next view, it replaces it again.

Is there any way to turn this auto wrapping off? I don't want to have <p> on images and global content blocks for example.

Has anyone else experienced this?

That is one of the reasons I use tinyMCE instead...

A: When 1.11 was released ( and at least once since then) we upgraded the version of tinymce that MicroTiny uses. For numerous reasons.

B: the <p> stuff is a feature of tinymce (the underlying javascript WYSIWYG editor that MT uses. There are lots of discussions about this on the interweb wrt tinymce and <p> vs. <br/> etc.

The end of this story is: We have no control over this behaviour, and after reading up on it. it is probably not going to change.

C: For what seems like 1000 times I have stated: WYSIWYG editors are for entering content. And are for people that do not know HTML semantics. Design level elements should not be mixed with content.
