Description
I'm using the latest version with IE 11 on Windows, having following issue.
- Type "Test" in editor
- Select "Test" to highlight it
- Click at the white space UNDER the selected text
Expected result: Selected text is no longer highlighted Actual result: Selected text is still highlighted
This cannot be reproduce with FF browser. I'm able to reproduce this using the CKEditor demo site with IE 11.

The behaviour that you can see is a result of that hack.The workarounds I can see are:
