GWD has had a problem with evaporating text since the original release October 2013 and has been reported by us several times since Nov 2103. Simply give it a try. Build a container enter a bunch of text click outside the container, save the page, click back in the container and edit some text and insert a new paragrgh and click outside the container just as you would before saving the page and some of the previously existing text will have disappeared. It's a problem on every HTML 5 page and not isolated to any one page then click outside the container and you will see some text disappear it is usually the text usually but it's not always the text immediately above the added text. If you notice the text disappear before you save you can undo and recover the lost text but with each attempt to save the page some text will disappear. Previous work arounds (http://wp.me/4d8yf) no longer work with the newest release.
Having said this we discovered that entering a blank line or two above the inserted text or the text that evaporated then click outside the container box will evaporate the blank inserted line and leave the edit in tact. We have found in some cases we had to enter a blank line above each and every line in the text container before clicking outside the container box then we can come back into the container box and delete the inserted blank lines and click outside the container with a savable version.
Also we notice a second cursor upon clicking inside the container which sits resident at the top left corner of the container. it is separate from the cursor used to edit the text. It seams to have no effect on the problem as clicking on it several times will merge the two cursors into one but again it doesn't remove the evaporating text problem.
On the example attached we had to create 3 separate text container boxes and we still had problems when we attempted to edit the freshly created center text container. http://chefleez.com/Classes.html
What is GWD's plans to fix this problem and when and if there is a plan to make components functional in HTML 5 pages?
