9998	In Chrome SPAN tags appear when merging paragraphs with delete/backspace.	lmeurs		"Occurs in Chrome v24.0.1312.56 / CKEditor 4.0.1 (revision d02739b) / CKEditor 4 DEV (Standard) (revision d02739b) (nightly build demo)

Did not occur in Firefox v17.0.1

When you have a paragraph with several lines of text, ie.:

{{{
<p>line1<br />
line2</p>
}}}

and want to create 2 separate paragraphs, you could go with your cursor to the end of line1, press ENTER to create a new paragraph and press DELETE to remove the whiteline caused by the BR tag. Then CKEditor puts some HTML in a SPAN tag with a line-height styling.

{{{
<p>line1</p>
<p><span style=""line-height: 1.6em;"">line2</span></p>
}}}

Other examples: It also happens when trying to create a single line out of the next cases:

{{{
<p><br />
line2</p>
}}}

and

{{{
<p>line1</p>
<p>line2</p>
}}}

* **This happens when two paragraphs are joined with delete. Tag br has nothing to do here. **

* **Another TC: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14952515/ckeditor-entermode-issue-in-chrome**

  Content: {{{<h1>^test</h1>}}} + enter + backspace creates awful mess.
