 When using the visual editor, inline styles are often added to tags (so
 far I've seen them added to `<p>`, `<li>` and `<a>` tags). I'm also seeing
 `<span>` elements created out of the blue containing the inline styles,
 wrapping around existing text.

 The styles are always in one of the following two formats: `style="line-
 height: 1.5;"` or `style="line-height: 1.5em;"`.

 I have not been able to work out a pattern to it - sometimes I can edit
 away for ages without problem, other times the styles are being added to
 multiple items pretty much constantly. I can delete the styles, then do
 further editing (in the visual editor), but they are very often added back
 in again.

 So far this has only happened to me on 3.8 and 3.8.1 when using Chrome on
 Windows 7. However, due to its unpredictable nature, I can't be sure it
 doesn't happen on other browsers. I'm not able to test on Mac.

 There are several old closed trac tickets from about 3yrs ago, but nothing
 recent. I'm 99% sure this started for me with 3.8.
