The mouse cursor is now located inside the word "Second", so the elements path shows the following hierarchy of HTML elements: body (main document element), ol (ordered list), li (list item) and strong (bold font).
Note that most of the same information can also be deduced from the state of the main CKEditor toolbar since the formatting options that were applied to the active element are highlighted.
