Uneven deletion of SPAN tags with inline styles

[mark_ndg]

I'm using WYMeditor in a CMS environment, where we are dealing with existing content created from other rich text editors, as well as content that has been copied and pasted from MSWord. I have encounted a possible bug in WYMeditor's handling of <span> tags with an inline style attribute:

When we open database content such as the following,

Code: Select all

<p>test <span style="font-weight:bold;">test</span> test</p>

and then save the content through WYMeditor, the <span> tag is replaced with an appropriate <strong> tag.

Code: Select all

<p>test <strong>test</strong> test</p>

However, if we use content where the style attribute does not have an equivalent html tag:

Code: Select all

<p>test <span style="text-transform:uppercase;">test</span> test</p>

the opening <span> tag is completely removed by WYMeditor, leaving an orphaned </span>.

Code: Select all

<p>test test</span> test</p>

Obviously, this is an issue.
This happens only with <span> tags. Other tags, such as <strong> or <em> are not affected.

Am I alone in this issue, or is this in fact a bug?
I searched the forum and didn't see anyone else with my issue; If this has been approached somewhere else, please direct me to the appropriate thread.

This is the latest WYMeditor release (0.5rc1)
