In the video above I demonstrate an annoying bug in the WordPress text/HTML editor that a lot of our users have been complaining about. It tends to happen when you copy and paste a lot of text as HTML, but in fact it happens based on hitting enter while editing.

The video explains exactly how it happens, and how you can work around it by scrolling up to “find” the cursor when it “goes missing”.
