This is reproducable on the CKEditor Demo page: http://ckeditor.com/demo . It only happens in Chrome as far as I can tell - Firefox and Safari don't exhibit this behavior.
Steps to reproduce:
- Place cursor at the beginning of any paragraph.
- Press the "Backspace" key, which should bring the entire paragraph up and join it with the previous paragraph.
- View editor source - an inline <span> tag has been added where the cursor is.
- Toggle off Source, and then toggle it back on - <span> tag is gone.
If someone were to save the article without viewing the source, there would then be a <span> tag with some extra, undesired styles in the body of the post.
