Advanced Translation Editor ignoring paragraph breaks

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client reported an issue where HTML paragraph breaks were not being recognized in the Translation Editor, causing all text to appear in one block without proper separation in translations.
Solution:
We recommended switching to the older version of the Advanced Translation Editor where this issue might not occur. Detailed instructions for this process can be found here: https://wpml.org/errata/html-attributes-not-available-for-translation-in-advanced-translation-editor/

frankG-4	Hi Cor, I already duplicated it as an updraft plus clone. Shall I do this again? I have another small problem and because you have already access to my site, it's easier to check. Problem is found in Product MKTV5-MIKROSKOPKAMERA. There is a headline made with HTML <p>Headline</p> <p>textbody</p> The headline is not separated in the Translation editor and so it is not on a separated line in the translations. In Text Body there are more paragraph breaks with <p> </p> . It's like the translations ediitor doesn't take care about it any longer. Can you please have a look. Thanks, Frank

frankG-4	Hi Kor, thanks for this hint, but it did not help. I deleted the translations und switched to the previous version of the editor. Same result. Please have a look at the screenshot. Problem starts with the German Textbody. Even when there is in German <p><Strong>Text</p><p>Text</p> The paragraphs are not divided in two input fields. Maybe it is the combination <p>, or it has to do with glossary entries. This paragraph shows a (1) at the glossary. ----------------------------- To our main Problem: Is an Updraft Plus clone okay? We again have had a Problem with generated images in Media folder: Tis time it was not after replacing an image, but after changing Text of an image at the Media Folder to the German Text, which was already set and translated. But it was not the translated image, which was used for Generation, but an Image from a page (Polarimetrie), which was deleted month ago in German, but not the translation in the other 3 languages. the Spainish Image translation was generated again and again. We did not change anything to the page as we were working in translations of Products. Don't know, why this happens now. And please have a look at the Glossary. We "feel", that these problems exists, since we are using the Glossary in all 3 translated languages. Please give this hint to your development colleges.

Kor Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thanks for your reply. Are you able to replicate the paragraph issue on another sentence with strong tag? Maybe you can test it on a test page? I suspect the sentence that you're referring to has been joined into a segment earlier hence displaying this result. As for your other question, I've split the ticket here https://wpml.org/forums/topic/problem-with-generated-images-in-media-folder/ so that we could follow up. As for this ticket, let's focus on the Advanced Translation Editor ignoring paragraph breaks issue.

frankG-4	Hi Kor, I think I know, where the problem is happening from. If you go into the text-view (html-view) of the Editor it sometimes happens, that the Paragraph signs disappear and all text is in one block. If you store at this point, no paragraphs are store in database. And I guess the first translation was done at this state. You can close this ticket for now. Thanks.
