I can confirm the issue, is present also in other browsers.

Is there are workaround that you can provide for this issue, since this is impacting multiple browsers (IE11 and Chrome)?

@tanmoyckeditor, unfortunately there is no simple workaround for this issue. However you can leave the   at the end, which should prevent deleting the br.
