These started a week or two ago. When I double-space at the end of a paragraph, SMF changes it to a triple-space when I hit the Post button and I have to go back and edit. Also when I paste text with Control-V it is often resized down impossibly small and I have to edit that to make it readable.
Get off my lawn! (there should be one blank line above this but it'll probably be two)

It is correct that you should be punished for committing the heinous sin of double spacing after a period.

You are in WYSIWYG mode.
In the post section there is a "Toggle View" button that looks like this:

Click on that to exit WYSIWYG mode and those problems will go away.

I just wish my machine would quit trying to guess what I want to highlight with my cursor.
Hey, I wanted to highight from where I held the button down to where I let it go. Don't go "thinking" I must have wanted to highlight that whole word, mustn't I have?
And no I didn't want the whole paragraph highlighted. Just like I said, from from where I held the button down to where I let it go, that's all. Got it?
Damned know-it-all machine !

Where is this icon supposed to be? I don't have anything that looks even remotely like that.

It's on the far right when you are in Post reply (and I suppose new thread) mode. Just below the "Change color" box.

It's there in the PREVIEW mode in mine,but not in the BBCode Quick Reply window.
If you click "Preview" with a blank Quick Reply window, you get:
The following error or errors occurred while posting this message: The message body was left empty.
No matter, ignore, just type in or paste your stuff.

Look at my Reply #6 just before your above post. It explains in better detail where it is.

I saw that and I did that. I don't see any icon that even remotely resembles what Cordex posted.

Apparently you are using a different theme with a different icon.

Yes, I concluded that was the issue with my not seeing the icon you showed.
But ... when I click that icon in preview mode, it doesn't add an extra blank line/space between paragraphs. In fact, I have no idea what it's supposed to do, because as far as I can see it doesn't do anything.

You might have Version 3.8A.940900982T378785 instead of Version 3.8A.940900982T378786.
