Switching between modes leads to html tags rendering for center aligned text

[shreyaa-s-zz]

Description:
Text is selected and center aligned. A string of text is selected with the center aligned text as substring and center aligned, and then switching to markdown mode. The selected part is rendered as HTML tags. Switching back to rich text editor leads to loss of data.

(Test conducted on master branch)

What might be the probable causes?

@jywarren @emilyashley @VladimirMikulic @cesswairimu @Shulammite-Aso @NitinBhasneria @keshav234156 any idea why this might be happening? Or where to look for the error?

@shreyaa-sharmaa great catch 💯 ... this is weird...tried a couple of other formatting like bold-ing and the table remains intact after bold-ing and switching back between the modes..also realized if you also center-align the table the data is not lost.. 🤔 no idea why this is happening..

As a beginner, I would like to work on this issue, can anyone help me by pointing out how and where to start? I have an intermediate level knowledge of JS . @cesswairimu @shreyaa-s-zz @jywarren

Hi @SteveSayantan and welcome. We would love your help! Have you setup the project yet? if not, you can find the steps to install here under "Installation" also overall info about the project and the modules and how to run it can be found there. Feel free to reach out if you are stuck somewhere or have other questions. thanks

@cesswairimu thanks for the response!! Actually, I am having difficulty understand the code i.e. which file to change and how everything is working. Could you please suggest a beginners-friendly issue for getting started?
I have installed the repo and all the packages successfully.

I see, I did go through the issues and my judgement on it being "beginner friendly" maybe flawed( not so good with js) but how does this one look #609 ? You may need to check if the issue is still persisting. thanks

Hey @cesswairimu I looked into the issue, but still can not figure out anything. Anyways, thanks for your response.
