FCKEditor 2.6.5 adds span tags when viewing source

[Lindsay]

We are using the fckeditor version 2.6.5 and are having issues with it adding multiple span tags to the html code. Example: This is the initial code: <p class="c6"><span class="c5"><strong><span class="c2"><span class="c1"><strong><span class="c2"><span class="c1"><strong><span class="c2"><span class="c1"><strong><span class="c2"><span class="c1">Burnsville</span></span></strong></span></span></strong></span></span></strong> Toyota</span><br></span><span class="c1">Internet Sales Hotline: 1-800-513-9239</span><br><br></strong><span class="c4"><strong><span class="c3">Hi [INSERT CUSTOMER FIRST NAME],</span><br><br><span class="c3">Thank you for the internet request.

After viewing the sourcecode once, it will look like this: <p class="c6"><span class="c5"><strong><span class="c2"><span class="c1"><strong><span class="c2"><span class="c1"><strong><span class="c2"><span class="c1"><strong><span class="c2"><span class="c1">Burnsville</span></span></strong></span></span></strong></span></span></strong> Toyota</span><br></span><span class="c1">Internet Sales Hotline: 1-800-513-9239</span><br><br></strong><span class="c4"><strong><span class="c3">Hi [INSERT CUSTOMER FIRST NAME],</span><br><br><span class="c3">Thank you for the internet request.

I have tried setting FCKConfig.FormatSource = false ; FCKConfig.FormatOutput = false ; and adding span as a protectedtag to no avail. We are spending many hours trying to tidy up the html only to have modified again and agaom/

FCKeditor was retired and is no longer supported. All active development was moved to its predecessor, ​CKEditor 3.x, that is a fully mature and far superior product. We recommend you upgrade as soon as possible since this issue is no longer a problem in current code base.
