Hi all,

Hi all,

Hi,

Actually the developer did notice a mistake in paragraphs as well so they will fix that to make the page easier to read as they were even having trouble.

I don’t know if there is a way, such as an add-on, to skip blank lines.  But blank lines should be shown .  Not doing so means incorrect copy and paste and it also doesn’t give a true representation of what is on screen.  It may be that you could have a setting to show paragraphs or not when in browse mode, but showing them should be a choice and it should be the default.

but i really hate blank lines especially when i have problems with
blank lines using Say all and skim reading enabled.
i thought that web pages have not blank lines at all and i was glad!
in notepad++, i find an option that removes all empty lines or blank
line and i really love it.
i wish that no book, no article, no web page or any email have not
blank lines at all!
for me, if nvda causes disappearing blank lines, i really love it and
appreciate it!
