Blank lines not preserved after saving

instance)
2. Save the document
3. Open the document in another window/tab

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'd expect to see the blank line I inserted, but it's not there.

I'm working around this issue for now by sticking \par at the end of each 
paragraph followed by a line with just % on it to separate out the paragraphs 
in the source code.

I'm experiencing this problem as well.  Every time I open up my LaTeX file, I 
lose more and more indents I use to point out begin/end points of various 
functions.  After five or six saves, every single line I wrote is now flush 
with the left margin, with no differentiation.  Even the blank lines between 
paragraphs I placed disappears.

I'm careful with my indenting, in order to make my files easy to read.  Now the 
spacing has turned into gobbledygook.

Anyone else having this problem?

I'm having this problem too. I can work around this by add more \\\\, but in a 
code list included, I can't. Instead, I put some character(like |) in the blank 
line to make it not empty.

This is annoying, can anyone fix this problem?

Same problem here. That said, I like the \par suggestion. I'll try that now.

I'm getting the opposite. Every time I reopen a document an extra blank line 
has been added to any set of one or more blank lines. Perhaps it's as a result 
of an attempt to fix this buy?

Fwiw, I'm getting the opposite too.
I have reported issue 300, which describes the opposite problem:
every empty line becomes two empty lines. Then 4, then 8, and so on.
