Mobile line breaks in odd places

So, I'm having to use my mobile to post more often than not, which is usually fine. Well, as long as autocorrect doesn't ruin a perfectly good post it does, anyways.

Problem is this: every now and then, when I'm formatting a post (bold, note, spoiler, etc), it starts a new line in random places. If I go in and edit the post, I can easily fix it, but it does leave my posts looking a bit funky the past few days.

Dunno if it's just my phone disagreeing with the text editor or what, but if anyone can figure it out, it's you. :)

Hm... I'm not seeing any strange newline? But over all, does sound like it may be something with the keyboard app you're using with your phone. Without more clear examples, or confirmation from someone else, it's hard to say.

I've noticed it on mobile posts as well, and not just with tags. It seems to happen to me when it linewraps in the edit box. Every now and then, when the wrap happens exactly at the end of a word, the next line down will have a space at the start. When it posts, it ends up being a new line.

If I spot it during writing, I can usually fix it, otherwise I will go back and edit. If I see it again, I will try to get some captures of it as examples.

I kinda figured it was more my phone's keyboard than it was the site, because it's a fairly recent development (didn't happen before my little sabbatical from fun, and I had to replace my phone while I was away).

I'll try to capture some screenshots and upload them the next time it happens to me.

This has already been reported :)

Oh, on typing, not the output...

It looks that way on the typing part. However, when you actually post, it's almost as if it uses that first space character as a hard line return.

If you look at the center paragraph of that link, it shows where the break happens, and then there's a screenshot to show the text input box
