I would also like to say that if necessary, you can disable Visual Mode entirely.

Preferences>Under the Hood>Disable Visual Mode where possible.

As well, if said option stays, I guess I can stay out of the decision to enable the New Visual Editor, which supposedly clears external richtext.

But, long story short, Visual mode sucks.
