Content Editor adds escape characters when switching to and from raw editor

Summary

From #363104 (comment 1044387671)

Switching between the Content Editor and source when editing a Wiki page will insert escape characters \\\\ around content that contains certain special characters. These \\\\ get added every time you switch between the two edit modes, even if you don't save the page.
