Description

When I enter more than one paragraph of text the paragraphs are single-spaced in the Tracker on my site. When I re-enter "Edit" mode, the spacing doubles. The spacing between paragraphs doubles every time I enter "Edit" mode.
If this Tracker were having the same problem then this paragraph would be double-spaced as you are reading this and that spacing would double again when entering "Edit". I have had some Tracker entries end up with 16 line breaks between them before I deleted the additional lines.
The problem is for every paragraph and not just the first two. All spacing increments are multiplied evenly between all paragraphs. The expectation would be for paragraph spacing to remain stable unless changed by a person after entering "Edit" mode.

Additional Notes:
I've turned off WYSIWIG for my text field described above to ue straight Wiki text. When Wiki format symbols are used everything displays fine when being viewed, but when editing all the formatting is translated to HTML.

Browser = Firefox 24.4

Workaround
Remove the reference to a wiki page to use as a template from the "Template to edit an item" configuration item for the tracker and turn off "WYSIWIG" for the text area field.
