Style not cleared at start position

I'm implementing 2.6.3 via PHP and have it configured for Flash content based on Sample 16.

When I write anything, "This is a test", and then select it and make it bold, the code becomes

<b>This is a test</b><br />

However, when I backspace to the very beginning (presumably clearing styles), and start to type again, the text still appears bold, and the code inexplicably becomes

<span style="font-weight: bold;">This is another test</span><br />

I clear it by switching to source and then deleting the content that way. This same problem occurs using italics and underline. Suggestions? Does a workaround or hotfix exist for this problem?

Re: Style not cleared at start position

Thanks for the reply. I understand that each browser does its own way. The last comment on that ticket (7796) says that it works well in v4. Does this mean that the issue is fixed in ckeditor version 4?

What is more confusing is that in Safari and Chrome, the state of the buttons/selection (style, font etc) is different than the actual style applied to the text. In my example, when the last character in the line is deleted, the font in the drop-down box in the toolbar changes to "Arial". When you start typing some text again, the font selection in the toolbar remains "Arial", but the actual style applied is "Comic Sans". Is this a bug in ckeditor?

Re: Style not cleared at start position

yes, the state of the button/selection is different than the actual style being applied. Is there a defect or should I open a defect? Do you know if there is a fix?

Thanks
