The CKEDITOR.dtd.$removeEmpty settings are ignored. This is a result of a fix for #7894 in fragment.js. I would like to preserve the empty links but the attribute ""data-cke-survive"" looks hacky. It is not referenced anywhere else in the project. A cleaner solution would be that the editor checks for nested links instead. Also the scope of the original fix can be limited only to HTML processing for paste event in IE." Bug closed Normal General duplicate
