in chrome, span with class attribute removed when merging blocks on delete/backspace

[alissa]

• set the enter mode to P or DIV
• set some style, for example bold to add span with class='bold'
• clean all text from the edited area
• press enter (<p><br></p> will be added)
• switch to bold
• write some text (you will have <p><br></p><p><span class='bold'>aa</span></p>)
• go to the 1st line
• press delete

the expected result is that you'll get <p><span class='bold'>aa</span></p>

but instead you get <p>aa</p>

I understand that this is a webkit bug, but unfortunately I guess that when they will fix the issue it will be with inline style instead of a class.. thanks

I believe this is the same as - #7381 but the former was closed as "works for me".

In current version of Chrome 16.0.912.77 m and Safari 5.1.2 This issue can be reproduced from CKEditor 3.0.

Just paste in one of below codes:

<p><br></p><p><span class='abold'>aa</span></p>

<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	<span class="abold">aa</span></p>

<p>
	<br /></p>
<p>
	<span style="font-family:comic sans ms;"><span class="abold">aa</span></span></p>

2. Place curosor in first line
3. Press delete

In all cases <span class='abold'> will be removed.

This is still an issue in Chrome and Safari. Don't get fooled by extra span added on delete in Chrome. This isn't the same span - reported here: #9998.
