Basically, I was exploring the new features, and I happen to constantly switch back and forth from Source Mode to WYSIWYG Mode. I was making a table on and tried experimenting with other HTML-based options on Source Mode, but when I accidentally omit the tags on one row and switched modes again, that whole row got deleted in both in WYSIWYG and Source Mode.

For WYSIWYG, I understand, since the wrong syntax shouldn't be displayed, but I was hoping that I could recover some things from the deleted row so I could rectify my mistakes.

Was this a default feature, or probably something that was overseen?

Personally, I'd recommend avoiding the WYSIWYG editor unless you really need it. It's imperfect, hard to control, and generates extra, unnecessary, code.

Be careful that all your bbcode is correct before switching to the WYSIWYG editor, and save it to the clipboard.
