I hope you will be able to fix this one -- it's
rather important to me.
I certainly hope that this one does not get "fixed".
I hope that someday PediaWiki will recognise a lack of blank line,
not only next to headers but also next to lists, rules, etc,
as indicating that a feature is next to (or within) the paragraph.
This makes the output for natural to the editor,
as well as allowing for more nuanced effects.
(You can't do it with HTML, you need CSS, as with the headers.)
Is your offline editor really unable to handle long lines?
(I only remember emacs' being brought up,
but I edit wiki files with emacs all the time.)
In any case, these aren't bugs, but feature requests.
