Oi, that’s no good. I never lost changes switching between Text and Visual mode.

It’s been working fine for me after clearing cache and reinstalling the plugin. Did you try that?

Damn browser cache! That did the trick (of course). I cleared cache and reinstalled the plugin. Tested in Chrome and Safari. Back to normal. Thanks for the response!

FWIW, still broken in WordPress version 4.3.1 released today.

I don’t quite have the technical depth to accurately assess the cause and solution here, BUT I dug up some info that seems relevant.

WordPress 4.3 tweaked how content is prepared in the Visual and Text editor modes. Both are now prepared/escaped the same (runing the textarea content through the JavaScript wpautop() before initializing TinyMCE).
WP 4.3 release notes (annotated)

Maybe that’s the cause of the error?

Looking at before (WP 4.2.3) and after (4.3) versions of wp-admin/js/editor.min.js, it changed quite a bit, moving the switchEditors function to the end. Like I said, don’t have the technical depth to know if/how that affects HTML Editor Syntax Highlighter plugin, maybe a good place to start?

Yep, I’m on v1.6.8.

Browser is Chrome v 45.0.2454.85 (64-bit).

Steps:
1. Access /wp-admin.
2. Go to edit post.
3. On edit post page, select Text tab.

Text area disappears and boxes below crunch up near top of where toolbar normally is.

I disabled TinyMCE Advanced plugin, and it still occurs.

I see an error in Chrome web dev console that reads:
Uncaught TypeError: switchEditors.switchto is not a function

I think it’s originating in HTML Editor Syntax Highlighter plugin file hesh.min.js.

Thanks for the update and the fix. Buuut it’s still broken for me. Can’t think of any other plugins I’m using that would be conflicting with this.

Yep, it’s broken in 4.3 for me, too. Also using TinyMCE Advanced plugin.

Excellent. Thanks much, ionainteractive. It’s fixed for me.

I checked all the above, tried striking that line with return in it to no avail either. Some of my users use IE8, and it’s still generating an error at that line, so no metaboxes will load based on the rule I provided (when a certain category is checked off). The error message reads: Expected identifier, string or number.

Agh, figured it out. Saw previous posts and remembered I had to do it with another blog I admin. For the record:

1) Make sure you’re logged into Google Account that has the analytics account.

2) Go to the plugins page, click reset on Google Analyticator plugin.

3) Go to Google Analyticator plugin settings page. At very top click where it says click here.

4) A popup box will appear and you have to grant your site access to the Google Analytics account. It will generate a key and you have to copy that and paste it into the box in the settings page.

Follow up: Resolved the issue. I have Advanced Custom Fields plugin installed. I disabled this plugin and had the same issue; however, I saw the release notes for the latest version. They reported this bug in the plugin, which was causing this. I updated to the latest version, and now all’s well again.
