title: Extra < br > at head area of twenty seventeen theme
body: <p>I am using twenty-seventeen theme and have an unusual white space when I insert a <code>&lt; head &gt;</code>.  Have checked out wordpress.org support and no answer solved my issue and have googled extensively on this issue already.</p>
  
  <p>If I remove the <code>&lt; head &gt;&lt; /head &gt;</code> it goes away but the head only has a title, so why does it have all the <code>&lt; br &gt;s</code> (see second image) and resulting white space?  I just want to remove the white space, or at least reduce it, and here is what I have tried so far:</p>
  
  <pre><code>.site-content .entry-content {display: none;}
  
  .site-content .entry-header {display: none;}
  
  .site-content .entry-title {display: none;}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but none of these solve the issue.  </p>
  
  <p>Here is my HTML</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
       &lt;html&gt;
      &lt;head&gt;
           &lt;title class= "title-class"&gt;Single Column Template&lt;/title&gt;
      &lt;/head&gt;
     &lt;body&gt;

      &lt;footer&gt;&lt;/footer&gt;
     &lt;/body&gt;
      &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is just the Head bit wtih the br's that I never put in my self.  Not sure what is going on.</p>
