Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to Midas Demo: http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/ 2. Enter the following HTML: <font face="Arial">text</font> (This is what IE generates when setting the font to Arial.) 3. Uncheck "View HTML Source", highlight "text", and change font to Courier. Actual result: <font><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier">text</font></font> Expected result: <font class="Apple-style-span" face="Courier">text</font> or just <font face="Courier">text</font> Lots of editing on different browsers can result in a document filling up with redundant tags. This makes it harder and harder to change the font correctly on all browsers.

(In reply to comment #1) > Created an attachment (id=47099) [details] > Patch I think the original code wasn't removing the extra font tag because it didn't create the font tag. That said, that seems like a silly reason to keep the extra font tag. E.g., if you unbold a section, webkit doesn't care who created the <b> tags and just remove them.
