Our attempts at fixing this have failed.  We are instead going to remove the CE HTML edit mode completely from our application, instead offering a simple <TEXTAREA> for people to work in if they need to edit HTML.  Of course this means we are giving up any of the CE features such as find/replace, etc. which is unfortunate, but since no workable solution has presented itself here, it's our only option unless we want to start looking at other editors again.

 

This is an extremely serious problem, and is only one of a number of very serious problems we've encountered with the HTML mode in CE (it can completely destroy your code if you do a lot with PHP in the code, which our users do).  No response ever came to my support request delivered through your website a week ago, and no solution has come up here either.  I'm quite disappointed overall and am beginning to wonder if it was a mistake purchasing CE.
