#41475: TinyMCE switches <strong> to <b> on deleted, then replaced text
--------------------------+-----------------------------
 Reporter:  cainm         |      Owner:
     Type:  defect (bug)  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal        |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  TinyMCE       |    Version:  4.8
 Severity:  normal        |   Keywords:

--------------------------+-----------------------------
 === Steps to reproduce ===
 1. Go to the visual editor or the new TinyMCE text widget.
 2. Write some text. Highlight it and use TinyMCE to make it bold.
 3. View Text mode - TinyMCE correctly used <strong> for bolding.
 4. Return to Visual mode, highlight bolded text, //delete//, then replace
 text.*
 5. View Text mode - TinyMCE switched `<strong>` to `<b>`.

 *If you just replace the bolded text without deleting first, `<strong>` is
 still used.

 === Expected ===
 The same tag (`<strong>`) should be used when deleting and replacing
 TinyMCE bolded text.

 === Actual ===
 `<strong>` is correctly used for general replacing of TinyMCE bolded text,
 except when text is fully deleted before being replaced.

 === Browser / OS version ===
 Chrome 59.0.3071.115 / macOS Sierra 10.12.6

 Additional note: Similar issue in Gutenberg, although `<span style="font-
 weight:600">` is used instead of `<b>`. Opening a separate issue in the
 Gutenberg repo.
