In most cases, it happens whenever certain templates are used within articles, whether it adds a blank line above or below them. Templates I've seen this happening so far are:  ,   ,   . I noticed this as well with several templates on the My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic Wiki:

 * http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Quote
 * http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Cellanchor
 * http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Template:TOC_limit

It especially affects wikitable code. When switching from the Classic Editor to the Source Editor in the editing window, key portions of code get inexplicably removed, and the table formatting is completely broken.

I've had this happen in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, but not Internet Explorer. Setting one's preferred editor to "Source editor" through Special:Preferences fixes the issue, but it disables use of the Classic Editor.
