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.
President Trump is supposed to reveal this week, six weeks after making the initial suggestion, whether he actually has tapes of his White House conversations. Trump last month w…

The Washington Post was first to get a draft copy of the ‘secret’ GOP health care bill.
The ‘discussion draft’ is making the rounds among GOP Senators’ aides and lobbyists. It would repeal Obamacare taxes, reduce Medicaid coverage, give states greater ability to opt out of Affordable Care Act regulations, and kill federal funding for Planned Parenthood. The GOP House bill linked insurance subsid…

On her Vegan-themed Instagram account Tropically Lina , Lina Saber uploads a delightful series called “fruit cards” where she arranges produce on paint card-style displays. I find these immensely satisfying to look at.

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.
Interestingly it largely clears up when I click “Show Full Post”. Maybe this is a Discourse bug?

Yeah…
I’ll talk to @beschizza about it today. I sort of came into this in the middle and need some context.

Lets just put it back.
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!)
