[TYPO3-english] RTE adds empty paragraphs in FCE

[Birger Fühne]

Dear list,

I am encountering a strange (for me at least) behaviour using the RTE 
inside a FCE.

I have a simpe content element - just a div with a rich text editor 
mapped to it. If I enter a headline in the FCE and some text after it, 
the output in the FE shows an added empty paragraph before the headline 
and after the text:

<p class="bodytext"></p>
<h1>some headline</h1>
<p>some text</p>
<p></p>

This does not happen in regular text elements, only in FCE's.

I'm struggling for some time to get rid of this behaviour, without 
success. Any advice?

Best,
Birger
