Thanks Alan - rolling back to earlier version not a massive fix, long-term. Anyone know the cause behind this occurring in Redactor II?

Thanks for posting this, Alan! I see where Imperavi is coming from, but this was a rough switch to make midstream. Thankfully, this plugin totally saves the day!

<p>In addition to the inability to resize images in the rich text fields (<a href="https://craftcms.stackexchange.com/questions/12634/cant-resize-image-in-rich-text-field-since-2-5-update">mentioned elsewhere</a>), I'm having issues with rich text fields, particularly in Matrix blocks, inserting extra spaces between paragraphs.</p>

<p>While an entry may be rendering normal on the frontend, opening up the entry will show the paragraphs with large spaces between them. Looking into the HTML, these appear as a series of tags like</p>

<pre><code>&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Strangely, when switching back and forth between the normal and HTML view, more and more of these spaces are inserted between the paragraphs. Do I have the option to rollback to the earlier version of Redactor? Any help or suggestions are appreciated!</p>

This is happening for me too. I downgraded back to 2.4 and a db backup to solve the problem. I can confirm that on 2.4 and Redactor I this extra tag issue doesn't happen and is semantically correct (i.e. a single </p> closes out a paragraph with no extra tags being inserted)
