I double click on "Verifiy" :
I start typing ""Notification" :
<para> is empty and closed… and it's difficult to go backward without undo.

What you describe is not only an annoying behavior, but also a bug. You should never, ever, get a completely empty (i.e. not text node), collapsed <para>.
However we didn't manage to reproduce this bug with the styled view[*]. See attached screenshots.
We'll try to fix this bug or at least, make it less annoying. However, I cannot give my word that we'll succeed.
---[*] XMLmind XML Editor has not been designed to be nice to use with the tree view. I really wonder why you are using the tree view. If you just need a XML editor with a good editable tree view, I would recommend Microsoft XML Notepad (free to use; http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7973 ).
