contenteditable false prevents removing line breaks

[Matt Butler]

When a tag with contenteditable=false is directly preceded by a BR, P, or DIV tag said tags cannot be removed.

<br />
<span contenteditable='false'>test</span>

I can occasionally click the margin to the left of the span and backspace the BR, but it's not dependable. It cannot be deleted from the end of the previous line at all. Deleting the SPAN will also delete the BR. Adding any printable character between the BR and SPAN will allow the BR to be removed.

Tested in chrome and firefox.
It IS working is IE8 of all browsers...
