**What happens?**:
A spurious P block is inserted breaking the span of content. (apparently because of line-feeds which are not collapsed)

**What should have happened instead?**:
The text should be rendered as a continuous span, WITHOUT a spurious P tag being inserted.
Or
The Linter extension should have generated a warning about the line-feeds inside SPAN based content, so they can be removed.
