Content is lost if you remove P tags

[Ipstenu]

If the text content 'loses' it's paragraph tags, it gets 'eaten' by Gutenberg.

So for example, if you have this, everything works:

<!-- wp:core/text -->
<p>I like that I can dance.</p>
<!-- /wp:core/text -->

Looks like this:

But if you have this it won't:

<!-- wp:core/text -->
This is a test post. I'm going to do something dumb. Hang on.
<!-- /wp:core/text -->

That looks like this:

It basically created an EMPTY text block. If I go into the text editor, it looks like this:

<!-- wp:core/text -->
<p></p>
<!-- /wp:core/text -->

The easiest way to reproduce would be this:

1. Make a post in Gutenberg
2. Edit the post in the visual/tinyMCE editor for any reason (in my case, editing tags and adding meta box content)
3. Go back to Gutenberg

All your text will be lost. Sad panda. 🐼

NB: You must save your content in the visual/TinyMCE editor. Because it strips p tags.

My recommendation would be to somehow force-add them back in? I know it should never happen in the future, but if someone goes into the text editor for any reason and adds content not knowing that they have to have p tags, they'll lose content.

I think we can consider this as closed by #1929 because removing the p tags will mark the block as corrupted and it will be protected from any gutenberg change.
