This is the way WordPress works. When you switch from the text to the visual tab, the editor reformats HTML code to the way it thinks should be written. It removes code it doesn't think should be there and writes the code in its own way. It's an annoyance that has been there forever.

The easiest workaround in to not switch to the visual editor once you've started editing the HTML.

This just happened to me, too, Ghallab. I spent a couple of frustrating hours trying to make place a Font Awesome icon on a page. My fix, as Victor says, is to not switch to the visual editor.

But if your editing default is the visual editor, as soon as you open the page for editing, the visual editor will pop up and delete the code. So you need to change the option in your User Profile.

Users > Your Profile > Visual Editor - Select "Disable the visual editor when writing"

Cheers,
