In Chrome, Safari and Opera a <br /> is inserted in an empty text area when using BR enter mode

[Patrick]

If the CKEditor contains text and the enterMode is set to CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR, then when you remove all the text in wysiwyg mode and switch to source mode, the source contains a '<br/>' element. This behavior only happens in the latest versions of Chrome (12.0.742.122) and Safari (5.1). Firefox 5.0 correctly shows the source as empty.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a textarea that contains some text such as 'test'
2. Replace the textarea with a CKEditor using the following config:

   var CKEditorConfig = {
     enterMode: CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR
   }
   

3. Highlight and delete all of the content in the CKEditor via the wysiwyg mode
4. Click the "Source" button to switch to the source mode

Expected result:

• The content is empty

Actual Result:

• The content contains '<br/>'

Issue has been reproducible from CKE 3.0

I cannot reproduce this issue any more. I checked latest Chrome, FF and Safari 5.1.7.

This error still exists, I've checked 3.6.6.1.

You have to use the following Config: CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR

In Chrome, when cleaning the editor (Ctrl+A and del), there is still an <br>-Tag inside, which is visible with developer tools (and of course with getData()).

[Piotrek Koszuliński]

1. 3.6.6.1 is not a latest version. Please check CKEditor 4.2.
2. Only result of getData() matters. With developer tools you can check internal editor's content, which is then processed when retrieving data.
