When a user clicks on Switch to source editing option from the settings drop down it tells user that switching to source editing will keep the changes made in the document.But if a user attempts to switch from the tab it does not retain those changes.This seemed confusing to me because when user uses the "switch to source editing" , the "Edit Source" tab is selected ,indicating the same destination for both action.
If a user can switch to source editing in multiple ways, i think it is better both ways have similar mechanism of handling the changes to have uniform experience.
Specially when switching from tab is one click away compared to the "[]switch to source editing" option.
