Gmail body of email <Enter> causes two carriage returns, not one

[Beauphuio]

It used to be in Gmail, in the body of the email, I'd hit <Enter> and it would cause a single carriage return, so that paragraphs would follow each other without a space, like this:
This is paragraph one, and now I hit <Enter> one single time
And this is paragraph two.

Now this is what happens when I hit <Enter> one single time.

And this is paragraph two.

How can I get it back to a single carriage return when I hit <Enter>?

Does this happen with every new message you write?

​Does this behavior happen with every new message you write?

I still get only one line -- most of the time.  But sometimes if I am replying to someone else's message, that happens.  Rarely.  It seems to do it because the font they used, or the properties attached to the text to which I am replying, are set up to do that, and my reply continues using those properties.  When it happens, if I choose a different point in their message to hit return and start typing, I can avoid the problem.

Yahoo is much worse, where a single <Enter> causes the equivalent of about 4 lines of blank text.  It's annoying as ... heck.

​I've had this too, usually fixed by clicking the 'Remove Formatting' button.

Ooh, that's a useful reminder, Marko.  If only it were possible to remove only the paragraph formatting and not everything else as well (bold, italic, colors ...).
