CKEditor 5 Text Styles can be applied to any element even when a tag is specified

I don't think there is an issue with Drupal. I think this is a limitation with CKEditor5 itself.

In Drupal and on the CKEditor demo page, it works with block level elements ("Block styles") as you would expect. If you set a rule for blockquote.my-style|My Blockquote Style it will only be allowed on blockquote elements.

However, with "Text styles" it allows them anywhere AND it creates the element where it didn't exist before. On the CKEditor demo https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor5/latest/features/style.html they have a rule span.spoiler|Spoiler which can be added anywhere, not just to existing span elements, and it will create the span tag. It works the same way with an "a" tag rule: it can be created anywhere and the "a" tag will be added. This is unfortunate.

I haven't been able to find an issue in the CKEditor project which references this behavior/limitation/bug.

I created ckeditor_link_styles → to overcome this limitation of CKEditor's style dropdown. It uses CKEditor 5 Link plugin's decorator config instead.

This is a duplicate of #3326261 — see #3326261-14: [upstream] [Style] Unable to apply styles to ,

, etc. in CKEditor 5 →. I will credit you all on that issue 😊👍
