Recent update 1.3.8 - 1.5.1, Extra line breaks now in some product descriptions

[atl2rva]

I recently updated my site and now some existing products have a bunch of extra line breaks. It seems to be only products that were using a HTML table. The table still shows up, but has a lot of line breaks before. .
Here is an example.

I searched around a bit already, but could not find a fix. This Thread seemed to have the same issue, but I am just using the plain text editor.

I think you can use strip_tags to remove all break in products description.

http://php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php

strip_tags($products_description, '<p><a><table><tr><td><tbody>')

You can add more what you need.

Not sure where I would need to add that and also I do not want to remove all line break, just the random ones added by zen-cart. After a little more messing around I have discovered it's only HTML tables that do not have anything above them. If I insert <p>text</p> above the table everything shows up normal without the line breaks. I have a slightly modified tpl_product_info_display, but have tried with the default and had the same result. Does this mean I have an open tag somewhere?
