Classic Editor plugin- Visual Editor bug

    I am running WP 5.2.4 and Classic Editor 1.5. If you add html in text mode as follows and then switch to Visual editor to see how it looks, all the html directives get translated to some substitution, not saved as written. If you stay away from the Visual Editor, just preview, then publish and come back into the editor so it sees this as part of an existing published page, visual editor correctly treats these directives as html. This is just an example, it does this to all <html directives> even though it was entered in text mode, not visual editor mode. This didn’t happen with TinyMice.
    Not a major problem, just have to ignore Visual Editor, do all development in Text Editor and use Preview, not VE, to make sure you got it right.
    Example:

    
<div style="width: 45%; float: right;">
<h3 style="color: #3534ba;">Upcoming Events</h3>
<i>Prevent invasive plants. Wash boat, motors, fishing nets & trailer before entering all lakes.</i>
<dl>
<dt style="font-weight: bold;">June</dt>

    I copied your HTML and tried it, but had no problems with any of it getting removed when switching to Visual Editor. Perhaps you have some other plugin or theme that is affecting the HTML?

    This is the list of plugins and the release levels I have active. None of them ‘should’ be getting involved in page edit/creation, the ones that affect page output do it via imbedded short codes. I’m guessing you aren’t doing exactly what I do because the behaviour is quite consistent on my site. However, it also isn’t worth spending a lot of time on it since using preview is an adequate work around. Thanks for looking into it.

    Yeah, I don’t see any of those plugins as causing the problem. One thing you have said which doesn’t make sense: “This didn’t happen with TinyMice.” First, it’s TinyMCE, and second, Classic Editor doesn’t change anything. It’s still TinyMCE. The Classic Editor plugin simply allows you to choose which editor to use. The classic editor remains in core, just as always.
    You might be able to figure it out using the Health Check plugin’s Troubleshoot mode, which disables plugins for your user only, without affecting visitors.
