Description (last modified by Jakub Ś)

var writer = new CKEDITOR.htmlWriter();
var contents = '<div>'  
+ '<p id="_1334328943223">'
+ '<span class="showContent com-ibm-rdm-editor-EmbeddedResourceDecorator embeddedContentLoadRequired">'
+     '<a id="_1334328943227" class="embedded" href="https://bmweb.com:9443/rm/resources/_hi0cpYPdEeGKpePNjL95TQ">'
+        '<u>  </u>'
+      '</a>'
+    '</span>'
+  '</p>'
+  '<span>  </span>'
+ '<p id="_1334328943224"/>'
+  '<p id="_1334328943225">'
+   '<span class="showContent com-ibm-rdm-editor-EmbeddedResourceDecorator embeddedContentLoadRequired">'
+      '<a id="_1334328943228" class="embedded" href="https://bmweb.com:9443/rm/resources/_hi0cpYPdEeGKpePNjLZZZ">'
+        '<u> </u>'
+      '</a>'
+    '</span>'
+  '</p>'
+  '<span> </span>'
+  '<p id="_1334328943226"/>'
+ '</div>';
var frag = CKEDITOR.htmlParser.fragment.fromHtml(contents);
frag.writeHtml(writer);
console.log("CONTENTS " + writer.getHtml());

Executing the above gives the following result, which is unexpected as it removes data (seen on FF10 and IE9:

CONTENTS 
<div> 
<p id="_1334328943223"> </p> 
<p id="_1334328943224"> </p> 
<p id="_1334328943225"> </p> 
<p id="_1334328943226"> </p> 
</div>

It's not a bug - the inline elements (those are stripped) contains nothing but whitespace which is at the beginning of the block thus are not visible from rendered HTML, those contents are considered as garbage thus is removed when parsing.

To workaround this problem simply add &nbsp; in your most nested inline element. Instead of '<u> </u>' please use <u>&nbsp;</u>

This is not only an issue with htmlWriter but how CKEditor works - to test it simply insert

<span> </span>
<span>&nbsp;</span>

and switch modes and you will see that first span will be removed.
