I’ve been noticing on some recent posts in boing (but not all) that formatting is really bad. There’s lots of white space between lines and other oddness.
Here’s some examples:

Ethically challenged former US Congressperson Newt Gingrich has proclaimed Donald Trump a liar. Gingrich claims there are no tapes of Trump strong-arming former FBI Director James Comey, it was an uncalculated bluff.

I’m not sure if this is a problem with the source posts, or with the WP plugin but I figured someone should look at it.

I would, but I need to find out from Rob what he originally changed!

Usually I have to hit show full post or just click out to the main site to see everything, now it seems to be the other way round.
Using windows 10 and Chrome for whatever that is worth.
This was almost certainly turning off the “Truncate embeds” option, which is now back on.
(Update: turns out it wasn’t that!)
