"Enter" adds a double return

In the new editor, hitting Enter inserts two lines instead of just a carriage return.  It makes posts not intuitive and sometimes take up more space than needed.  Can this be changed back?

A lot of the forum software is doing this now.  If you notice it isn't a full double return, it's just a paragraph break.
You can bypass it by holding shift when you press enter.

well technically it is a double space - if you hit enter twice in say "Word", it would work the same way.  You can call it a paragraph break, but it's annoying.  I post on many different forums and this is the only place I've seen it.  Thanks for the info.

I see it all over.  Sony's forums are like this.

This is a

paragraph break

 

This is a

double return

 

You can see the spacing is different.  You get use to it once you learn you need ot use the shift+enter.  There probably is a setting for it though.
