3 blank lines above 2 below, shown in the edit screen. Each of these lines becomes a p-tag with a space character inside

The table below shows the effects of the various "Wiki syntax" settings which are used with the 'old' fckeditor and Tikiv3.5

Wiki paragraph formatting	but still create linebreaks within para	wysiwyg editor display results	wiki editing display results
N	N	adds an extra linefeed after every line of text - but does display blank lines OK	works fine as expected with correct number of empty lines displayed
Y	Y	adds an extra linefeed after every line of text - but does display blank lines OK ie same as N/N	suppresses all empty lines/line feeds - but can compensate using HTML <br/> tags
Y	N	Works as expected with correct number of empty lines displayed	suppresses all empty lines/line feeds - but can compensate using HTML <br/> tags

Current settings for this site are Y/Y. The exact behaviour for the different settings on this site is still in 'flux' and the table below is starting to catalog what is happening now with ckeditor and Tiki v6
