I'm still not clear what the actual problem is... Dion explained quite 
well how the editors work: in HTML mode single return is converted to 
<br /> two returns are converted to <p>. In visual mode single return 
inserts new paragraph, and Shift+Return inserts <br />. Saving either in 
visual or HTML mode doesn't make a difference.

If you're seeing something else, please disable all plugins and switch 
to the default theme to see if it makes a difference.
