           Summary: Styling spans not removed after deleting all content
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML Editing
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: Graham.Dennis at gmail.com


Let me prefix this by saying that I'm not sure that this actually is a bug.
If one adds styling to the text at the start of a contentEditable div, and then
deletes all of the content in the div, any new text that is added has the
styling that was added to the text at the start of the div. This is the same
behaviour as TextEdit, however, for TextEdit, there is no well-defined default
style. For a contentEditable div, it is possible that a style has been applied
to the div, which has since been overridden by the span. It makes sense that
there should be a way to remove the style applied by the span. One way to do
this would be to remove a span once it contains no text.

I'll attach a testcase.
