I have been able to reproduce the problem but I think the real problem is that Ctrl+V doesn't paste unstyled content while it should.
The default content type is dependent from this property http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/api/CKEDITOR.config-cfg-clipboard_defaultContentType and it is set to HTML by default. With such setting, pasting plain text into e.g. <strong>test</strong> should split strong tag in two and this is happening until version 4.4.8. Starting from version 4.5.0 Ctrl+V, no longer splits text.
@Mingjie if you want to have contextual pasting, please change defaultContentType to text.
This ticket is similar to #13751 although both talk about a little bit different things. Anyway I think it is very important to fix these two tickets at the same time to cover both cases.
It seems we have quite a few issues with copy/paste and style loss - #14391, #14406, #13751, #13753, #10924, #14593, #14921, #16454.
Unable to reproduce in Chrome 54. Does the problem persist for you in this version as well?
