Post hyperlinks messing up when switching input modes (in Opera)

I’m having some serious issues with the content of my posts – specifically images with hyperlinks – changing when I switch back and forth between the “Visual” and “Code” input modes. This problem only seems to be happening in Opera (which I’m being forced to use lately because my Firefox likes to stop responding about every 5 minutes).

An Example:

When creating a new post, I upload and insert an image with text below it. Then, in order to resize the image so that it fits appropriately in my blog I switch from the “Visual” tab to the “Code” tab (Opera doesn’t let me resize images via dragging in Visual mode). So in Code mode, I throw a width=”385px” in the <img> and I go back to the Visual tab (where things look nice, for now) to continue adding text or formatting the post.

Then, if I go back to the Code tab at any point during the post-creating process, the code has changed in some form or fashion. Many times there will no longer be any <img…> section of the image code, just the a [href=”…”] part. Also, the [/a] will suddenly be a paragraph or two down, creating in the Visual tab what is a couple paragraph that link to the image that I was trying to post.

This problem also occurs consistently when I go back to edit any previous posts, regardless of if I go to the Code tab or not.

I hope that make sense. Again, this only seems to be happening in Opera, not firefox.
