 * Hi,
 * I created a simple shortcode to wrap around the selected text with a box. It’s
   working fine if I write the shortcode manually, which is
 * `[do action="tbw"]CONTENT[/do]`
 * But, the problem is with the shortcode button on the Rich text editor. When I
   click the assigned shortcode button to a selection of text consisting 2 paragraphs
   or more (i.e. contains a linebreak/ ), suddenly it gives this code around the[
   do action=”tbw”]. (I found out using inspect element tool on Google chrome)
 *     ```
       <span style="overflow:hidden;line-height:0px" data-mce-type="bookmark" data-mce-style="overflow:hidden;line-height:0px">[do action="tbw"]</span>
       ```
   
 * This code is filtered out when switching to the HTML view or publishing the post.
   So it essentially delete the [do action=”tbw”] part of the shortcode, leaving
   many meaningless [/do] at the end of the selected texts.
 * I’m still trying to find out what causes this, disabling all plugin & switching
   to default theme does not solve the problem.
 * Any clues on what that data-mce-style/data-mce-type code might be?
