I’ve noticed a strange issue where my HTML content in a Rich Textarea field will randomly remove text (particularly spaces) surrounding my anchor tags. It only happens when I open the entry for editing but will change the text before my eyes.
Code like this:
```
This is a <a href="#">link</a> to somwhere.
```
will turn into this:
```
This is a<a href="#">link</a>to somwhere.
```
as soon as I click Save / “Submit”.

Anyone else notice this?

This is an install of EE Core 2.6.1 with just over 100 total entries.

I’m seeing the same thing in EE 2.6.1.
