Rich Text Editor (Tiptap) adds empty paragraph to the end of the content

[dpedrovich]

Which Umbraco version are you using?

16.0.0

Bug summary

The new default Rich Text Editor (Tiptap) adds empty paragraph (<p></p>) to the end of the content if the content ends with elements that aren’t wrapped in a paragraph - for example a list or a blockquote.

Even if I remove it manually with the source code tool in the editor, it re-adds it.

Specifics

No response

Steps to reproduce

Add a list or blockquote as content/markup on a document type that uses the Rich Text Editor (Tiptap) property editor. Save and publish and inspect the markup OR just preview the source code in Umbraco in the Rich Text Editor.

Now do the same but just add some text (paragraph) instead of a list or blockquote.

Expected result / actual result

An empty paragraph (<p></p>) will be added to the end of the content when using elements that aren’t wrapped in a paragraph (for example a list or a blockquote).

Hi there @dpedrovich!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot 🤖 🙂

@dpedrovich Thanks for reporting this.

The cause of the extra paragraph is due to our inclusion of Tiptap's Trailing Node extension, as we found in some cases where a code block or table were the last content, then it wasn't possible to place the caret/cursor after it, so this seemed like the friendliest solution. We'll investigate how we can make this configurable.
