How do I get rid of this spacing in between two lines of text?

In July 2023 this is still an issue.

Vote to get it fixed here in the Jira list of things users would like fixed:

The control + Enter workaround has an effect but still does not narrow the line spacing much. 

It is also clunky, needs to be done on every line.

<Shift>+<Enter> between lines will give a smaller spacing.

Normal enter

Text 1

Text 2

Shift+Enter

Text1
Text2

Why do they make it so unintuitive? Was there a setting to make this the default? If I recall correctly, the old editor had Paragraph format.

Shift Enter isn't helpful for bulleted lists. Each line will not get a bullet if you do that.

@Jeanette McCarthy That's true - it won't work for bullet lists.  However, the spacing on bullet lists is usually pretty consistent.

When I get a weird one I usually put my cursor between the first character of the option after the weird spacing and its bullet, then press "Delete" (or back space) to get that line concatenated on the end of the previous bullet.  Then I hit "Enter" again and regular spacing returns.

I guess it's back to using Code format until there's a way to change the default. It's pretty inconvenient to have to hit a 2-button combo every time I want a single-line feed.
