We have an issue with paragraph styles which have some custom classes. It has different behavior depending on how you select your paragraph. In some cases, when you fully select your paragraph the class remains the same the previous paragraph. Please see the video of issue reproducing on the Telerik demo for more details: https://www.screencast.com/t/xg9b1imVO Workaround: <script type="text/javascript"> function OnClientCommandExecuting(editor, args) { //The command name var commandName = args.get_commandName(); //The tool that initiated the command if (commandName == "FormatBlock") { //editor.get_document().execCommand("FormatBlock", false, "div"); var selectedElement = editor.getSelectedElement(); if (selectedElement.getAttribute("style")) { selectedElement.removeAttribute("style"); } else if (selectedElement.getAttribute("class")) { selectedElement.removeAttribute("class"); } } } </script> <telerik:RadEditor RenderMode="Lightweight" runat="server" ID="RadEditor1" ToolsFile="Tools.xml" Width="800px" OnClientCommandExecuting="OnClientCommandExecuting"> <Content> some plain text </Content> <CssFiles> <telerik:EditorCssFile Value="Styles.css" /> </CssFiles> </telerik:RadEditor>
