Add new page code editor moves and deletes html tags around

    Hello,

    I’m using WordPress 5.4.2. Just started to build a custom page with custom theme. I managed to make Main Page fully working by replacing code of index.php at Theme Editor (Appearance tab). Then I got a problem creating new page with Add new page (Pages tab). What happens is: when I place below Code #1, the builder converts it to below Code #2.

    Code #1 – copied:

    Title

    Paragraph


    Kontakt

    Paragraph

    Code #2 – outcome after update page:

    Title

    Paragraph


    Kontakt

    Paragraph

    The code editor does move HTML tags around and – what is worst – deletes tags.

    Best regards,
    Paul

    PS.
    The editor seems to be upgraded – it’s way different from the one I can see on WordPress version 5.1.6. I can’t see no more a left side-bar, there’s only top bar which is also different – specific for the ‘Add new page’.

    Oh… It converted this code into actual HTML. I had no possibility to use “/code” which I can see here in replies. There’s # Code1 and # Code2:

    # Code1 – copied and placed: 

    <main>
<grid>
<c>
<h1>Title</h1>
<p>Paragraph</p>
</c>

<c>
<span></span>
<a>Kontakt</a>
<p>Paragraph</p>
</c>
</grid>
</main>

    # Code2 – outcome after update page:

    <main>
<grid>
<c>
<h1>Title</h1>
Paragraph

<c>
<span></span>
<a>Kontakt</a></c>

Paragraph

</c></grid></main>

    I don’t mind <p> tags, just not closing <c> is critical.
