 * Sorry, I wasn’t being clear. I should avoid writing responses at night when I’m
   cranky.
 * The wpautop issue was cleared up with the ‘preserved html’ plugin mentioned earlier.
   The new issue was a random span tag with a class of “mce_SELRES_start” that I
   took care of by adding the following option to the Advanced TinyMCE editor configuration
   plugin:
 * wp_keep_scroll_position false
 * So in summary, none of these issues turned out to be caused by the Classic Editor
   plugin as I had originally surmised. I added the “fixes” to the thread in case
   someone else stumbles this way. I can now move from the Visual tab to the Text
   tab and not have my code molested.
 * My thanks to all who provided input on this.

 * So the “issue” was reproduce-able under WordPress 4.9.8 on a fresh stack install
   of PHP and MySQL so I’m guessing it’s less of an issue and more a showing of 
   my inexperience with the platform. Luckily I found this plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/preserved-html-editor-markup/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/preserved-html-editor-markup/)
   which mostly did what I wanted the editor to do from the start: stop treating
   me like an idiot. That plugin worked on 4.9.8 and 5.0 to stop the line breaks
   but I’m still getting a ridiculous span tag I do not want, so the saga continues.
 * Where should I look in order to kill **_all _**of TinyMCE’s formatting abilities?

 * The Gutenberg plugin was not enabled, I believe the 5.0 update took care of that.
   I just updated the Classic Plugin to 1.2, deleted the old Gutenberg plugin, re-
   enabled ‘Dont Much My Markup’ and still have the same issue when I load a page
   in the classic editor and swap from Text to Visual. I’ll spin up a new vanilla
   5.0 instance with no plugins so I can test in a sterile environment.
 * Thanks for your attention to this.

 * Thanks! I will see what I can get that plugin to do for me. Does anyone know 
   if the same hooks apply to the classic editor now that it’s a plugin itself?

 * As an aside, the Block editor is adding these unwanted line breaks in as well
   when viewed in Code mode:
 *     ```
       <style>
       .page-header.three{<br />
       display: none;<br />
       }<br />
       .sbheader{<br />
       background-image: url("https://www.jcryan.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/HomeHeader.png");<br />
       background-size: cover;<br />
       height: 500px;<br />
       width: 100vw;<br />
       }<br />
       .row-full{<br />
        width: 100vw;<br />
        position: relative;<br />
        margin-left: -50vw;<br />
        left: 50%;<br />
       }<br />
       </style>
       <div class="container-fluid sbheader row-full"></div>
       ```
