Hi Adam -
In Firefox I see no change in behavior. Here are the steps:
1. Click HTML
2. Paste "<a id="LOID10593407723" name="LOID10593407723"></a>this is <a id="LOID1059340772" name="LOID1059340772"></a>a test<a id="LOID2048431086" name="LOID2048431086"></a>asdf<a id="LOID105934077234" name="LOID105934077234"></a><br>"
3. click Normal
4. Note 2 flags instead of 4
5. click back to HTML
6. Note html has been changed (which of course it shoudn't be) to "<a id="LOID10593407723" name="LOID10593407723"></a>this is <a id="LOID1059340772" name="LOID1059340772"></a>a test<a style="width: 20px; height: 20px; text-indent: 20px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-image: url(CuteEditor_Files/Images/anchor.gif);" id="LOID2048431086" name="LOID2048431086"></a>asdf<a style="width: 20px; height: 20px; text-indent: 20px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-image: url(CuteEditor_Files/Images/anchor.gif);" id="LOID105934077234" name="LOID105934077234"></a>"
7. Click Normal
8. Note 3 flags
9. Click HTML
10. click Normal
11. Note 4 flags
In ie I can't test because you need to load from a db to do the test, clicking to html and then back to normal seems to work properly. It's only when you load from a db that the error occurs. But I think if you test it yourself loading from a db, you will see what I mean. Karen was able to replicate it in ie.
