Attributes duplicated from current tag to new tag when inserting a new line

[rapdup]

In any browser:

1. Goto Source view
2. Create a div or p tag
3. Include some styling such as a border with this tag
4. Include some content with the tag

   <div style="border-top: 3px solid red">Hello</div>
   

5. Switch to WYSIWYG mode
6. Place the cursor at the end of the content just created
7. Add a new line

Expected: A new line should appear without content and without styling

Actual: A new line without content is created, but the styling is copied from the previous line

Is there *any* chance of this bug being fixed in an upcoming release?

This is old bug report and no one has looked at it for a long time but reading it today gave me impression this behaviour is correct.

This is just my point of view but it looks quite correct to create div with some inline styling or classes and continue this styling on enter.
If one wishes to remove such styling he just needs to select this newly created div and press Remove Formatting.

• if there is text within this div - you can select text with mouse and press Remove Formatting Button
• if there is no text you can select this div with SHIFT+LEFT ARROW or press div element on elements path and then press Remove Formatting Button.

I have consulted this issue with my colleagues and final conclusion is that this is by design.

I'm closing this issue as invalid.
