The styling has changed for paragraphs within the text web part in Sharepoint modern pages. All paragraphs in pages that I created prior to the March software update displays with paragraph spacing. All paragraphs in pages that I have created the past week have no paragraph spacing. I know I can just make another line break between each paragraph, but should I do that? I can see that the paragraphs are properly encoded within HTML p tags and no in-line styling.
What I really need to know is whether or not this is seen as a bug, and will be addressed quickly, or is this seen by Microsoft as the new way the rich text editor will work going forward.
Is the Sharepoint modern sites text web part RTE going to act like Notepad forever, or will it go back to the expected behavior described here? If I add extra line breaks because of the messed-up style sheet, and if it then gets fixed, I will have to go back and remove them all. Do I keep working on my intranet project, or wait for this to get fixed?

On July 17, the issue seem to have been fixed! Spaces between paragraphs in articles are back on new posts! Finally!
***UPDATE*** : On January 22, 2024, the problem is back in our tenant! @MelissaBrenneman can you reopen the thread?
We found with our issue, that it was related to pages that were provisioned via PnP PowerShell cmdlets. Something to do with the text editor version on a provisioned page being different (ck4 vs ck5), and the resulting in-page CSS styling not specifying any vertical margins between paragraphs. I'm never sure where to report bugs like this - as when you look at the GitHub repo for the cmdlets, it more or less says that any problems are probably not with the cmdlets, but most likely with the underlying libraries that they call (which I've no doubt is the case).
This is still an issue for us (15 Jan 2023). New pages we create have no spacing between paragraphs, while older pages have correct spacing.
This issue has now returned to our tenant as of Jan 26, 2024
Similarly this has returned for us, as of the 29th of Jan.
