TYPO3 CMS Fluid Styled Content different behaviours with empty p element

I got two TYPO3 CMS instances. One was setup with version 8.7.x and one was upgraded to 8.7.x from 7.6.x.

I created a content element with CType textpic containing the following text in both instances (got it from source code from ckeditor): 

<p>Test</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>text</p>

In the database, both tt_content entries look like this: 

<p>Test</p>

<p>text</p>

Now, we come to the frontend.

TYPO3 CMS which was setup with version 8.7.x renders the following HTML code: 

<p>Test</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>text</p>

TYPO3 CMS which was upgraded to version 8.7.x renders the following HTML code: 

<p>Test</p><p></p><p>text</p>

The &nbsp; is missing in the upgraded instance.

I use fluid_styled_content in both instances. Why the instances behaviour is not the same?

Solution

  • I found something on the Typo3 core bugtracker which looks like your problem.

    With the update to 8.7.20 the " " in an <p></p> were removed witch the result that many empty but needed lines/spaces were removed in the frontend.

    Just put this line in your TypoScript setup of your website as a temporary solution until the bug is fixed:

    lib.parseFunc_RTE.nonTypoTagStdWrap.encapsLines.innerStdWrap_all.ifBlank = &nbsp;

    You can find the original bug here: https://forge.typo3.org/issues/86819

    Hope that helped!
