@Adrian in general, it’s highly recommended to avoid editing core WordPress files. I’m writing up a post with another workaround that doesn’t involve editing core WP files, and I’ll let you know here once it’s up.

To stop the editor from removing line breaks, open wp-includes/formatting.php, and change line 402 to this:

$content = str_replace('
', '
', $content);

. Alternately, you can use
. In WP3.0.5 is line 952

Jon – BRs after images? What the H E double hockey sticks are you doing? Change our IMG spacing in the CSS, and save yerself a wealth of problems later.

Can you tell me what’s supposed to be on line 402? I don’t want to replace something that was needed.

402 on my page shows: $double_chars['out'] = array(‘OE’, ‘oe’, ‘AE’, ‘DH’, ‘TH’, ‘ss’, ‘ae’, ‘dh’, ‘th’)

Also, the config file for the editor is not where you said it is. I’m using WPMU 2.7 The js directory only has subdirectories.

Excellent tip. I was having a nightmare adding line breaks to create spaces beneath images. In my formatting file the line to edit was actually 608, so maybe this needs to be updated. Could be a WordPress 2.7 change?
