SOLVED: Meta Box WYSIWYG Editor field is added with additional unwanted <p>

Bugs
7

This bug still exists of 1.7beta.

Seems like similar issue with ACF was fixed but Meta Box no - using basic text element

EDIT - this is only happening when setting the Basic Text HTML element to a p tag. If you use the Rich Text element you get an unnecessary div wrapper.
