Apply Style menu add unnecessary <span> tag with the s

Hello,

I have been trying different ways to get the apply style menu to work but fails. Here is my scenario.
1) I added a entry in the toolbar.xml with the following entry:
  <cssFiles>    
     <item name="~/styles/utd-TableEditorStyle.css" />    
  </cssFiles>
2) The utd-TableEditorStyle.css contains many pre-defined styles, including
td.subtitle1
 vertical-align: middle;
 text-align: center;
 font-size: 1.2em;
 font-weight: bolder;
 padding-top: .8em;
 padding-bottom: .3em;
 border-bottom: #000 3px solid;
 background: #EEE;
 
3) In the RadEditor table, the table cells contains data like
                <tr>
                    <td>Hev b 1*</td>
                    <td>Rubber elongation factor</td>
                    <td>58/14.6</td>
                    <td>-</td>
                    <td>Papain, fig</td>
                </tr>
4) After run 'Apply Style' menu with 'td.subtitle1' entry to a selected whole or partial table row, the command add extra <span> with the style 'td.subtitle1 ' instead of apply the style to the <td> tag. The HTML source becomes:
                <tr>
                    <td><span class="subtitle1">Hev b 1*</span></td>
                    <td><span class="subtitle1">Rubber elongation factor</span></td>
                    <td><span class="subtitle1">58/14.6</span></td>
                    <td><span class="subtitle1">-</span></td>
                    <td><span class="subtitle1">Papain, fig</span></td>
                </tr>

I'm expecting the HTML source should look like:
                <tr>
                    <td span class="subtitle1">Hev b 1*</td>
                    <td span class="subtitle1">Rubber elongation factor</td>
                    <td span class="subtitle1">58/14.6</td>
                    <td span class="subtitle1">-</td>
                    <td span class="subtitle1">Papain, fig</td>
                </tr>
Is this a bug? Do we have a workaround solution?

Thanks

Dear Chuck

Sorry I missread your post and had to delete my answer.

Hello Chuck,

To set css class to a cell select the cell, right-click on it and choose Cell Properties. In the right side of the dialog that opens, you will see the AppyCss dropdown and will be able to choose a css class from it.

Hi Jen,

Thank you for your response. 
I have no problem using either the 'Cell Properties' dialog or the 'Apply Style' toolbar menu to change the style of an individual tabel cell. The problem happens when I select the entire row or multiple cells from a row, then the apply style does not works. It adds an extra <span> tag to the cell (see my initial input).

Is there any workaround solution for not creating extra <span> when I apply style to more than one selected columns for a table row?

Thanks,
Chuck

Hi Chuck,

Unfortunately, there is no workaround for this case, since the css class is set to certain selected area. When you seemingly select multiple cells you actually select the content of the cell, thus when the cell is empty, the AppyCss drop-down inserts additional span tag. The only possible approach is to set class per cell, as I explained in my previous post.

Hello Friend,
     You can't do this.Becoz the td is one tag and span is another tag.You can't merge them.
      You should use the following format:
     <td><span></span></td>
