Summary [GTK] Editor: Odd SPAN added on text input

Created attachment 465461 [details] test-html-editor.c There is added an odd SPAN element when editing a text. Even I cannot reproduce this under MiniBrowser, I can reproduce it consistently with the attached program, which depends on the Evolution HTML editor. Steps: 1) install evolution-devel package (aka development files for the evolution package) 2) download, compile and run the attached test-html-editor.c file - the first line of it contains a comment with a command to do it 3) press for example 'a' key Current result: The HTML structure looks like this: <body> <div><span style="background-color: inherit;">a</span></div> </body> Expected result: <body> <div>a</div> </body> This is reproducible with 2.35.1-1 release onwards (including 2.38.x series), the last version where it does not misbehave is 2.34.6-1. Notes: The test program has enabled Ctrl+Shift+I to open the WebKit Inspector, or one can use View->Inspector from the menu, for easier debugging. An interesting thing is that it does not do it always. For example when I run the test program as: ./test-html-editor "<div>b</div>" then the press of the 'a' constructs: <body> <div>ab</div> </body> as expected. Another interesting thing is that when I comment these lines: // make sure there is a selection if (!document.getSelection().anchorNode || document.getSelection().anchorNode.tagName == "HTML") { document.getSelection().setPosition(document.body.firstChild ? document.body.firstChild : document.body, 0); } in /usr/share/evolution/webkit/e-editor.js , in function EvoEditor.initializeContent, then it does not misbehave too, but it can write text in a wrong place. Alternatively, when I execute (re-run) the command `document.getSelection().setPosition(document.body.firstChild ? document.body.firstChild : document.body, 0);` in the WebKit console after the editor is opened, then it also does not misbehave.

My to-do list says I'm supposed to bisect this, but I'm not going to find time to do it. Sorry. :( Going back so far as 2.34 is inconvenient.
