Since updating to the new version 2.99.9.8 the line breaks the Container Element & Enter Key options don't appear to function as described.
Setting to Paragraph:Paragraph actually results in Divs being created. Selecting Linebreak:Paragraph results in only Linebreaks </br>. None will give me a paragraph break. I have tried changing this both in the Global configuration and in the profiles to no effect.
Any ideas?
I'm not seeing this in tests on the demo site, set to Paragraph:Paragraph - https://demo.joomlacontenteditor.net
Note: if you are inside a DIV and press Enter, it will create a new DIV, not a paragraph. This is expected behaviour.
Selecting Linebreak:Paragraph results in only Linebreaks </br>. None will give me a paragraph break.
With the Enter Key set to Linebreak, press SHIFT + Enter to create a Paragraph.

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.
We've used JCE for years and we used press the enter key for Paragraph and Shift Enter for a line break. Can we get back to that?
That is exactly what happens with the option set to Paragraph : Paragraph, but if the cursor is in an existing DIV, Enter will create a new DIV. This has always been the behaviour.

Ok, thank you. Not something I have noted before. We have had Paragraphs created with the class of the containing div before.
