[TYPO3] RTE: bold not always and alignment never saved

[Michael Niemann]

I've included the bold and alignment buttons. In the RTE everything works but when saving the alignment settings aren't included. Setting bold on regular text is saved but not on links.
Regular text is wrapped by <span> and the links by <p>. The inline style of the latter is not saved.

Here's my TS config:

RTE.default >
RTE.default {
    contentCSS = fileadmin/css/rte.css
    useCSS = 1
    classesAnchor = test1, test1
    mainStyle_font = Arial, sans-serif
    mainStyle_size = 12
    mainStyle_color = black
    classesParagraph = redText
    classesCharacter = redText
    showButtons = left, right, italic, bold, unorderedlist, link, textstyle, textcolor, chMode, user
    proc.preserveTables = 1
    proc.entryHTMLparser_db = 1
    proc.entryHTMLparser_db {
        keepNonMatchedTags = 1
        xhtml_cleaning = 1
    }
    disablePCexamples = 0
    userElements {
        ....
    }
allowedClasses = class1, class2, class3
}


Also another question is why is there a dropdown included in the RTE which contains the value 'Default' and is dithered. How do I remove this?
