Exact Forms - Extra Spaces with Rich Text fields

I have a multi line rich text field in an exact form.  In the past I used html to manage the spacing which worked fine.  When Quickbase changed the formatting on this field I can no longer use html in the field successfully (I can put html in the source).  My issue is for every hard return it adds an extra space at the bottom of the text.  I used to be able to use </br> and write all the text on one line to eliminate this problem

    when editing data in a rich text field when hitting enter for a new line hold down the shift key at the same time as the enter key and instead of a paragraph you'll get a single line break or the <br />  html tag

    Thanks for reply.  I have used that technique to create the breaks.  It still creates a blank line at the end of the text for each line break.   If I'm inserting 10 lines of text it will be followed by 10 blank lines before the next item in the exact form.  
    Scott, I'm so glad you asked this question. I'm consistently running into the same issue - have you had any success or heard back from Quick Base (if you opened a support case)?
    Hello,

    Scott,

    Make the shift to Exact Forms Plus.   

    Every new client I start with, I have them get EF+   It solves so many issues with the presentation layer for data leaving QB.

      I found this same issue.
      I ended up replacing the standard javascript file that this exact form calls, with a slightly modified js file, only changing one line in the js.

      line 232 old
      data += "<BR>\r\n ";​

      line 232 new
      data += "<!-- <BR> --> \r\n ";​

      I don't know what that is for, if I need it later I will adjust the script.
