Item8690: html tags inserted by the WYSIWYG editor prevent Wikiwords expansion

Low New Extension WysiwygPlugin Waiting for Feedback
Some users were hit by a behavior of the WYSIWYG editor that puzzled them:
  • type some text in the WYSIWYG editor: Sandbox.TestTopic1 is the old one
  • force a newline by Shift-Return
  • type a WikiWord the optionally some text, e.g: Sandbox.TestTopic2 is the new one
  • save
The wikiword is not expansed, because it is right besides the <br /> breakline tag, e.g:

TestTopic1 is the old one
Sandbox.TestTopic2 is the new one

I do not know what could be the general solution for this. And I guess it can happen with many more tags than just BR.

A proposed fix is to make TinyMCE insert on Shift-Return a BR tag + a space after the BR, instead of just BR like "<br /> " It seems to work well, and survives subsequent edit/save cycles.
