class="Apple-style-span" should not be added by rich text editor

[jokerall]

What is the expected result? The generated HTML should be something like: <span style="background-color:#ffff00">Test</span><br>

What happens instead? The generated HTML is cluttered with class="Apple-style-span" attributes:

<font class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color:#ffff00">Test</span></font><br>

The <font> tag seems added by Docs, but class="Apple-style-span" is definitely added by Chrome. This attribute seems useless and should not be added.

How can i fix it ckeditor?

[Alfonso Martínez de Lizarrondo]

You have pasted the summary from the chromium bug that affects Google Docs, but what are the steps to reproduce in CKEditor?

Isn't this a dup of #2178 or #5052 ?

It happens also in Ckeditor.

Please provide a workaround or fix.

[Alfonso Martínez de Lizarrondo]

The workaround is as pointed out in #5052 to process all the HTML and remove them, or just skip those browsers. We're waiting for a fix at the webkit side in ​https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34799

dup of #5052

i will not skip Chrome, Safari, etc. i thought its (your) job to make ckeditor compatible to ALL important browser or at least offer an official fix or workaround.
