Description
In IE8, when scayt_autoStartup:true and multiple editors on the same page, once you switch to the next editor (tab or click) cursor (focus) starts arbitrarily jumping between the editors while you type. It doesn't happen when scayt is disabled.
How to reproduce:
- Edit ckeditor\_samples\replacebycode.html and add {scayt_autoStartup: true} to the replace(...) for both editors (editor1 and editor2).
- Open replacebycode.html in IE8, click on the first editor and type something.
- Press tab to switch to the next editor and continue typing (might take a few dozen characters)
Observed result: cursor jumps randomly between the two editors. This observation is fairly consistent and should be easy to reproduce.

Further analysis:
It looks like the focus is switched (forced back) when SpellChecker.net AJAX call is returned in the editor. So, if you don't wait for the SpellChecker.net to return the results and switch to the next editor (typing fast and switching between editors quickly), the focus is forced back to the previous editor once the results are returned.
