newline character is auto removed by quill

Steps for Reproduction

1. I am using quill and while rendering the text in quill, last newline character gets removed automatically.
2. <p>Sales S2s</p><ul><li>Provide over sight over overall sales activities of the desk</li></ul><p><br></p> . This is the string I am rendering to quill.

Expected behavior:

• last tag <p><br></p> should not be removed

Actual behavior:

• last new line br tag is removing while calling setContents function in quill

Platforms: IE, Chrome, Win7

Technologies Angular with Typescript

Version: Quill.1.3.6

This was my silly solution:

if (text && text.substr(text.length - 11) == "<p><br></p>") {
	text = text.substr(0, text.length - 11) + "<p>&#8205;</p>"
}

It works pretty well… Unfortunately, Quill seems to find any </br>, <br>, or <br/ > tag I put inside that. Even <p><span /></p> gets removed. They are pretty good at catching any non-text content in a set of <p></p> at the end of the paragraph.

‍ is the “Zero Width Joiner” that is used in Unicode for languages that have no space between certain unicode characters. Languages like Arabic need the ability to join the two characters together with no space. It’s mostly okay for my use-case.

This was my silly solution: if onChange‘s source === ’api‘, return.
