I was converting an area that I have copied into Sigil and it had created it as a pre defined area. I needed it to be a table so I started building my table manually in code mode. At one point I decided to review the window where I had gotten the source and I switched to that window to look at something and then switched back. Imagine my surprise when tidy messed up my unfinished table and combined it with another table further down in the eBook. What a mess!

It seems that if you take the window focus away from Sigil it resets the view to the top in code view and runs tidy against whatever it there. You have been warned. Be very careful if you switch windows. I would recommend you not start a table without coding a /table immediately and then fill in the content.
