    I had this problem and been searching for a solution. Noticed from the forum that a few reported this problem and never received any respond. And those reports are about a year old and still no solution?!?!

    Anyway, I was desperate so I tested each and every settings I could find in NPP and… Bingo!! Found the culprit!

    So just in case there are still people with the same problem, here's your solution:

    ***Problem:***
    When in HTML/XML mode, pressing enter will insert BR tag automatically.

    ***Solution:***
    Under TextFX Menu > TextFX Settings, disable the 'Autoconvert typed HTML/XML to &entities'

    Your problem should be solved.

    It is a good feature to have.. and very handy too.. but if only it does not insert BR on enter, it would be great! Alas!!! Never expected that would be the case.

    Thanks for the input ! They need to make this unchecked by default. So irritating…had to put up with it for years till I could take it no more !
