Problem/Motivation
When I add the Language drop-down to the CKEditor, whether it succeeds or not depends on the sequence of steps. I would expect there to be a consistent result once all the requirements are satisfied, regardless of sequence.
Specifically:
- if I save the configuration
- after adding the Language drop-down to the toolbar
- but before adding the span tag to the list of manually editable HTML tags,
- then a later attempt to add the span tag to the list of manually editable HTML tags does not succeed in dismissing the resulting error message.
The ending requirements are:
- That Language is part of Active Buttons.
- That
<span> is part of manual tags.
Steps to reproduce

3. Choose Drupal core
