Backspace to delete a bullet in a table cell leaves a <br> that cannot be removed

      JVM 1.6.0_12
      Client: Windows 7, Firefox 13

      When editing in a table I have the following (in wiki markup)

      ||Heading||Heading||
      |Item | * list item 1
      * list item 2
      * list item 3 |
      

      which renders like

      Heading Heading
      Item
      • list item 1
      • list item 2
      • list item 3

      If I then go to list item 1, delete the text "list item 1" and then backspace to remove the bullet, I am left with a hard line break above the bulleted list that I cannot remove at all in the new editor.

      source code from source editor:

      <table>
        <tbody>
          <tr>
            <th>
              <p>Heading</p>
            </th>
            <th>
              <p>Heading</p>
            </th>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>
              <p>Item</p>
            </td>
            <td>
              <br/>
              
              <ul>
                <li>list item 2</li>
                <li>list item 3</li>
              </ul>
            </td>
          </tr>
        </tbody>
      </table>
      

      To remove the hard < br > character I have to use the source editor.

      You need to either not put in a hard < br > or make it so that backspace / delete can remove it.

            Hi dianesexton

            Thanks for taking the time to raise this issue. This has been on our backlog now for 2 years with very little movement in that time. Rather than leave this on the backlog I am going to close this out as won't fix, I believe this better reflects the status of the issue.

            If the problem is raised again in the future we will re-address it.

            Regards
            Steve Haffenden

            Reproduced in firefox, without table enclosing list items:
            Create list on empty confluence page with bullets
            For second item, enable bold, italics, or underline before typing.
            Type your second list item
            Remove formatting by clicking tool bar button, or use hotkey (cmd/ctrl B/I/U)
            Hit delete key

            Expected behavior:
            backspace to delete stylized character at end of word

            Actual behavior:
            Bullet list point is deleted and <br/> is added to the previous list item. Storage format examine reflects this. See screenshot

            Reproduced on 5.3 in Chrome. Note that if you put anything before the list then the bug does not occur (as reliably anyway).
