Visual vs. HTML Editing

I have posted before about trouble with Editing. I never get a response through these forums, but since I targeted my problem a little bit, I thought I’d try once more.

When I use the Visual Editor and insert a link to a piece of text in heading format (h2), as well as a thumbnail, then switch over to the HTML editor, the anchor for the hyperlink does not appear. When I switch back to the Visual Editor, the text suddenly appears unlinked – like I had never done anything.

When I insert the anchor on the html side FIRST and then switch to Visual, everything works fine.

Any advice? I’d like to stick to the Visual Editor as my primary…

Thank you!
