 This is a follow-up to #14218.

 My editor KEEPS adding span tags with line-height attributes and I
 narrowed it down to some hidden original text preserved somewhere even
 though a clean and correct version is shown in the TEXT version/tab.

 1) Paste text from TextEdit.app in the visual editor (with single-line
 titles made with b tags)
 2) Select the title (b tag, entirely, partial, or the whole line with
 triple-click)
 3) Do ANYTHING with that, and the span will be added. Either removing the
 B or deleting the selection.

 In other words, it's NOT code brought form TextEdit.app, BUT code added to
 text which CAME from TextEdit.app.

 I say it's some remembered version of the pasted text the extra span tags
 are NOT added if the bolded text was entered manually in the TEXT tab.

 When pasted from TextEdit.app (didn't test other apps) the text shows
 FINE, even shwitching back and forth between VISUAL and TEXT tabs, even
 doing changes somewhere else. It always returns to the right clean
 version.

 At least not I KNOW how to keep bringing the formatting from Mac
 TextEdit.app (Wordpress and the Mac OS keep the text beautifully clean
 this days) without ruining it later in the WP editor. (I used to think it
 was WP to blame)

 It looks like TinyMCE REMEMBERS the span with font-width: bold attribute,
 but it shows it as b tag instead, so when you make any change to the text,
 the change is made to the span tag, rather than to the b tag.
