Nested spans turn content into an HTML block

In the new editor, using nested <span>s turns the content into an HTML block. Is this the intended functionality? It seems odd to me since <span>s are supported HTML.

 

My team uses nested spans for certain elements and this functionality makes it impossible to edit the rest of the content directly, since it turns into an HTML block.

For now, this behavior is intentional and stems from the technical limitations. Currently, more deeply nested inline structures and nonstandard attributes are automatically moved into an “HTML block.”  This approach helps us preserve the original structure of your content during the migration from the old editor to the new one.

We understand that this may affect editing workflow, and we are going to continue to refine and optimize the editing process throughout the entire migration period.
