Issues with post content Visual editor

Has anyone come across a display issue with the visual editor on the post editor page? (/wp-admin/post-new.php).

Context: When creating a new post, any text entered into the ‘Visual’ tab of the post editor doesn’t appear in the ‘Text’ tab – and it doesn’t appear when the post was previewed or published. In reverse, anything entered into the ‘Text’ tab does show up in the Visual tab, and does show up when previewed/published.

I went through and deactivated all the site’s plugins – and the issue was solved. So I went through each plugin reactivating them one-by-one until the problem resurfaced. (You could do this the other way around – deactivating plugins until the problem is fixed. Probably way less invasive. Oh well. #YOLO.)

The problem resurfaced when I reactivated the Yoast SEO plugin (currently at v3.7.1). This is odd, though – as I run the plugin on several other sites which haven’t had the same issue.

*NB. I noticed that when the problem was current – the mouse cursor in the visual editor would start right at the top of the text field. This is odd behaviour, as usually there is a noticeable line-break between the bottom of the WYSIWYG editor and the first place you can actually enter text (even more noticeable when compared to the cursor position when in ‘Text’ tab view).

Is this a wider spread issue? If so, are the developers aware?
