Visual editor tab deletes  's

  • We have a page containing a table in which I want a number of blank lines. I can do this manually, in ‘Text’ editor tab, by putting ‘ ‘ in each <td>.

    Problem is as soon as I switch back to ‘Visual’ editor tab all of my  ‘s get lost!

    Is this a known bug?

    Thanks,
    Nick
