Chrome Creates Spans with Inherited Styles on Delete and Paste

Chrome creates additional spans with inline styles (inherits styles) on backspace/delete key and paste when the content is inside an editable div/iframe element. This is a known Chrome issue that has been reported as follows:

• https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=226941
• https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114791

You can work around this Chrome browser behavior by setting an empty value for the EditorCssFile, which will prevent the page style inheritance.

<telerik:RadEditor RenderMode="Lightweight" ID="RadEditor1" runat="server">
    <CssFiles>
        <telerik:EditorCssFile Value="" />
    </CssFiles>
    <Content>
        <p>para</p>
    </Content>
</telerik:RadEditor>
