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

      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.
