[Resolved] Extra p and br tags in a post form within a view loop

I am trying to:
I have a page that has a view showing a loop of posts from my "Course" post type.
For each item in the loop it calls a post form to update certain fields from the course.
The form is outputting additional <p> tags and <br> tags

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
hidden link
You will need to login to see this page.

I expected to see:

<label>Title Override</label>
<div ....>
<input ....>
</div>
<label>beforetitletext</label>
<div ...>
<input ...>
</div>

Instead, I got:

<label>Title Override</label><p></p>
<div ....>
<input ....>
</div>
<p><label>beforetitletext</label></p>
<div ...>
<input ...>
</div>

In some places it adds extra <p> and in some it adds extra <br>

Not also that it's an AJAX form. After I submit a form, that particular item in the loop displays correctly without any extra <p> or <br> tags.

My view doesn't use a content template. I tried adding one and making sure it the Output mode set to "Manaul paragraphs" but that made no difference.

Any help much appreciated.

Hi Tim,

Could you wrap your items in this shortcode below and see if it removes the auto paragraphs?

Thanks Shane,

Unfortunately this doesn't fix it.

I've tried putting it in the view, outside the [cred_form form='xxx'] code.
I've tried putting it in the form, around all of the form content.
I've tried putting it in the form around a single line of the form.

Is the [wpv-noautop] shortcode supposed to work in Forms as well as Views?

My issue is resolved now. I'm still not sure why t was a problem, but I just recreated the view and the problem wasn't there with the new version of the view, even though all of the settings are the same.

Thanks for you help.
