The "Wikia's classic rich text editor (where available)"TM has always had a variety of problems, including this one, which I have seen occurring for years without knowing the cause.
 * Wikia Staff are not fixing bugs or usability issues with "Wikia's classic rich text editor (where available)"TM

"Wikia's new Visual Editor"TM was created in part due to the flaws with "Wikia's classic rich text editor (where available)"TM
 * Wikia Staff are fixing bugs and usability issues with "Wikia's new Visual Editor"TM

"Wikia's classic rich text editor (where available)"TM will eventually be disabled, due to issues such as the one you raised here. If there are ways which which the "Wikia's classic rich text editor (where available)"TM is superior to "Wikia's new Visual Editor"TM, then you should mention them to Wikia Staff so that they can improve "Wikia's new Visual  Editor"TM. (However, I haven't noticed any updates in a while, so it's entirely possible that development has been abandoned like every other Wikia feature in favour of working on something new. I've always had this problem too, jumping from project to project without finishing anything once the fun part of the development is over and I want to work on something new - but it's incredibly unprofessional, and would be like a mechanic fixing your engine but leaving the tires off, because bug testing and fixing tires are boring and he wants to work on something different.)

For the record, I use neither, and I'm sick of people messing up articles who use either.
