Can you try deactivating all of your plugins and switch to the Twenty Fifteen theme? Does the issue persist?
I will have a go at doing what you advise but this was not a problem until I updated to the latest update (4.6).
So WP has changed something that now makes this happen.
Whatever is doing this it does not seem to be the plugins.

Does this mean the issue persisted with all plugins deactivated and the Twenty Fifteen theme active?
I deactivated all pluglins and made the Twenty Fifteen active but it made no difference.
I have now lost the settings for the former theme and will have to restore a backup!
As you can imagin i am not very happy at the moment.

I couldn’t replicate the issue, can you double-check this still happens with all of your browser addons deactivated as well?
Unfortunately, I am now having problems with restoring my site which is over 2500 pages in size.
The backup Plugin may be the problem, not sure but I have now decided to look for a HTML template and start the long process of transferring it to a static site.
I transferred from Joomla to WP because of migration issues on version changes, now I am sadly experiencing the same problems on WP.
With static html sites I have no such problems and due to the editing issue, I will now have to copy the pages code from WP, edit it using an external editor and then paste it back into WP. I might as well do it all on a static site. Google search perfers static sites over CMS.
