HTML field attaches empty paragraphs

Problem

When using WYSIWYG editor in HTML fields, empty p tags are attached before Headings & Lists

Steps to reproduce

1. In CMS: Open node with HTML field
2. Add text including Headings & Lists
3. Save and Publish changes
4. Open the same node and/or the page rendering text from CMS

Expected behaviour

Rendered HTML has the same structure as text in WYSIWYG Editor

Actual behaviour

1. Additional whitespace is added in WYSIWYG Editor
2. Empty p tags are attached before Headings & Lists in rendered HTML:

<p>
  <br>
</p>

Thank you for the report. This is a UI issue. I'm moving the issue to mesh-ui.

We've experienced this issue, too.
It's quite tricky to properly handle content when formatting and updating it.

Any update to get a raw multiline string editing ?

Possibly related: slab/quill#745

In quill (before version 2.0) there is a matchVisual that controls how HTML is generated when pasting whitespace. Setting it to false prevents quill from adding additional whitespace. In quill 2.0 the "visual" matching was removed completely.

matchVisual helped me to fix this issue:

modules={{
  ....
  clipboard: {
    matchVisual: false,
  },
}}
