I use PSPad editor for this task, it has an integrated “Delete empty lines” function that works flawlessly

For CSS I use notepad++. In search and replace search for ^\r and replace with \n
Make sure regular expression is selected. This replaces all blank lines and makes editing easy. Not sure why you would need any blank lines at all. I would be interested to know.

You are a lifesaver lol!! Funny how such a simple thing could be so frustrating and so easily fixed. And I’m not sure of WHY it happens, but I have noticed it happens with my FTP files in FileZilla, so Mark may be on to something.

Multiple line spacing often happens because FileZilla is not using binary transfer mode. It usually occurs when the data is transferred over FTP, in ASCII mode. In FileZilla the setting is in Edit > Settings > Transfers > File Types > Default transfer type > Binary.
