Would it be possible to have the collapsing of empty paragraphs take place when the user presses a newline anywhere else in the document?
This way the document jumps about oddly. Look at the complaints we had about the graphics loading.
An empty paragraph is shorter than most graphichs, and it will only happen as they press enter anyway. The graphichs jump is more asynchronous.
The effect will be that the one and only empty paragraph "moves"
to a new location. If it were below before - no effect. If it were above, the creation of a new empty paragraph will be that the
top half of the screen moves and the bottom stands still.
A little unusual, but people are used to this effect when creating a paragraph at the very bottom of a document anyway.
(About the graphichs jump - isn't that solvable by getting the
size of the image at load time? At least for the great majority of formats that allows quick extraction of the size?)
