IE11: Loss of text when pasting bullet lists from Word

[mdev7]

When pasting a bullet list from Microsoft Word then text gets replaced with "<>".

Steps to reproduce:

1. Copy a bullet list from Word using CTRL+C
2. Go to CKEditor and paste the content using CTRL+V
3. You will see that only one item is left and the text has been replaced with "<>".

Browser: IE 11.0.9600 OS: Windows 7 Word: Microsoft Office Professional 2010

Looks like it has never worked but this particular TC can be reproduced from CKEditor 4.3 and since full support for IE11 was added in CKE 4.3 I'm setting this as start version.

NOTE: IN CKE 4.2.3- result was as follows:

~~• Hgdfgdfg
• Dfgdf
• gdfgdfgdfgdf

I am facing the same problem. I just forced all the users to use IE EDGE mode and most of the users are using IE11 and the last element in a bullet list is replaced by <> if it is a single word. But the strange thing is that if the last element is appended with a space and copied, then it is pasted perfectly.

Can someone please help.

Cheers:) Karthik

1. For attached MS Word document, browser, with native contenteditable element, sees this code as shown below:

   <ul style="list-style-type: disc; direction: ltr;"><li style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;'><p style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;'><strong><span lang="DE-CH" style='font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;'>hello</span></strong></p></li><li style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;'><p style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;'><strong><span lang="DE-CH" style='font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;'>world</span></strong></p></li><li style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;'><p style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;'><strong><span lang="DE-CH" style='font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;'>abc</span></strong></p></li></ul>
   

2. CKEditor results:

   </font>
   

   After Paste Processing:

   <ul><li style="font-weight: normal;">&lt; &gt;<!--   -->&lt; &gt;<!--   -->&lt; &gt;</li></ul>

1. Test fails on Chrome: ​http://tests.ckeditor.dev:1030/tests/tickets/8103/1
2. There's no special need to ignore the test that you added on Edge. It's very probable that it will provide us the same HTML as previous IEs.
3. There's also no need to set data before using assertPasteEvent. This helper only fires editor#paste and doesn't care what's being inserted into editor. It checks what editor#paste contains after all the processing is done.
