Re: Weird JAWS behaviour - blank inserted between paragrapghs and heading/paragraph

I'm not hearing blank lines but there are two variables here. I'm using
JAWS 2021 and you have 2018. Your example references classes in the first
three divs but I don't have those classes. (The classes aren't used on the
paragraph elements so it shouldn't matter, but you never know.)
