Due to technical limitations there are a few scenarios in which you can't switch from source mode to visual mode. These are situations where syntax for a specific element (listed below) can span more that one line. This syntax is unsupported because adding automatic indentation (using ) to multiple lines would not work. They are:

You will still be able to compose these comments in source mode, although you should check the live preview to see if the automatic indentation causes any issues.
 * 1) comments containing table syntax
 * 2) comments containing template syntax
 * 3) comments containing extension syntax (including references)

We hope to allow this syntax in the future but doing so will require a change to wikitext, which is being discussed in T230683.
