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?

My Microsoft Support Case number got masked above, so there seems to be an effort to keep us from contributing information on a ticket if we have the same issue. Please, everyone, open a ticket and get a Support Case number and then tell them to look at this thread.
On my case, I was told to do a network scan using some tool that took an hour to install and run. Their instructions didn't say how to answer the questions. It looked like the wrong diagnostic tool, anyway. It seemed to be oriented towards running a diagnostic on the PC, when the issue is in Sharepoint Online via Microsoft 365. I'm feeling very frustrated right now.
We're getting the same problem as of this week, so whatever it is it looks like it's rolling out slowly.
