Text styling isn't removed when text is deleted

[SpencerWoo]

Prelude

When deleting text, the styling remains such that the text that moves up to replace the deleted text takes on that styling.

Reproduce

1. Go to demo at https://alloyeditor.com/
2. Highlight "In live demo, click/touch here C"
   (highlight the header and the first character of the next line)
3. Delete

Actual Behavior : The text is deleted but the style remains and affects other text.

This styling inheritance is correct when some text with that style remains, but when deleting all the text, the styling should not remain and should not affect other text.

Acceptance Criteria

• When all text that is styled with StyleA is deleted, StyleA should not exist anymore / influence text.
• Google Docs behavior

Notes

I can reproduce with Chrome, IE11.
I cannot reproduce with Firefox.

Hey @SpencerWoo, thanks for reporting!

Unfortunately, this is an issue coming from CKEditor, so we'd need to report it upstream. You can verify the same happens in https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-4/ and also https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-5/

What's happening is that on deletion, the tags get merged and the content from the <p> tag end up inside the <h1> tag.

I've filed ckeditor/ckeditor4#2279 to see what they say about this.

Thanks!

Hey Chema, I originally found and reported this. We're out of luck on this one CK have said it's a bug with browsers and will not be fixed. As it's not a bug in their eyes ... it's a feature request. Welcome to my world. It's crazy this is not a feature request.

"Changing this behaviour would be more likely some feature request."
