Tables in the WYSIWYG editor are not rendered properly in the presentation view

**Yes, I am re-reporting this bug - perhaps I didn't explain the problem clearly yesterday. Tried multiple times to edit the incorrect rendering, both as "Quick Edit" and "Edit Article" and saved after each edit and returned either to "Dashboard" or "Articles". When I view or edit the article again, the (recently made) edits didn't "stick". Specifically, this has been problematic with an article that contains two tables - both have bold and centered headers, while the rest of the elements are (supposed to be) centered, but not bold. Also, the tables are each titled (left-justified, bold), with the tables (are supposed to be) double spaced below the title, but upon viewing (and re-opening the editor), several blank lines have been inserted between the titles and their respective tables. **I AM USING ONE OF YOUR TEMPLATES (GENERIC ARTICLE) AND THE FORMATTING BAR AT THE TOP- NOT INPUTTING MY OWN BBCODE COMMANDS See my article "The Afflicted".

Steps to Reproduce

Create an article (using the "Article" template) and insert a title, double-space, and a table from the top bar (I used 10 rows with 5 columns). Double-space at the bottom of the first table, enter another title, double-space, and another table. Apply Bold & Centered to the column headers. Apply Center for table elements. Save article and return to Dashboard or Articles. View the article, then quick edit to repair the formatting issues with the tables. Save article and return to Dashboard or Articles. View the article again.

Hi, as mentioned before the WYSIWYG / Plato editor does not fully support all BBCode. Tables do work in most cases, but the editor tends to add empty lines as you've noted. This will not be fixed as the editor will be replaced in the future.   Either make sure that there are really no empty lines in the article (e.g. no double enter) or switch to the Euclid editor.

Thank you for looking taking the time to explain this. I'll try the Euclid editor in the future.
