Pasting text from MS Word "breaks" styling in some cases

[Hakan Gündüz]

Steps to reproduce

1. Open new Word document
2. Write some text
3. Set font size to 36
4. Mark text with yellow marker tool
5. copy & paste this text into ckeditor (prerequirement: config.pasteFromWordRemoveFontStyles & config.pasteFromWordRemoveStyles are set to FALSE)
6. see that yellow marking is only half the height of the text
7. happens because the plugin puts background-color and font-size not in the same but cascaded <SPAN> tags. So outer span doesn't now anything about the inner.
8. Dirty workaround is to comment out the lines 950-952 in ckeditor\plugins\pastefromword\filter\default.js

Expected result

yellow background is as height as the text

<span style="background: yellow; font-size: 36pt">myTXT</span>

Actual result

yellow background is only half the height of its text

<span style="background: yellow;"><span style="font-size: 36pt">myTXT</span></span>
