    Description

      Summary

      Text Formatting Notation Help does not indicate a way to create a new paragraph in the new Jira UI

      Environment

      In Jira Cloud, using the new Jira interface

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. In new Jira UI, edit an issue description
      2. Enter some text
      3. press Enter twice (once to start a new line, and once more to leave an empty line between blocks)
      4. enter some more text
      5. Save changes

      Expected Results

      Would expect a single empty line between bodies of text to create a new paragraph

      Actual Results

      There is a line break, but this does not look visible different then a wrap around line of text.

      A paragraph should have more spacing between itself and the previous paragraph

      Notes

      https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/WikiRendererHelpAction.jspa?section=breaks

      Still indicates that a single empty line should be sufficient.

      Workaround

      It appears possible to do this if you leave 3 empty lines between blocks of text. I also found you could hold Shift while you press Enter twice in order to achieve this same view. However only pressing enter twice leaves 2 spaces without a proper paragraph display.
