 Line 3
 Line 4</td>
 </tr>
 </tbody>
 </table>

 After switching between Text / Visual becomes:
 {{{
 <table>

 <td>Line 1
 Line 2 

 Line 3
 Line 4</td>
 </tr>

 Then after another switch becomes:

 Hi and thanks for the report!

 This is an old, known bug tracked in #20943. That ticket suggests a plugin
