IE Selected format fails to reflect in entered texts correctly

[satya]

To reproduce the defect:

1. Open any sample except Ajax.

2. with out keeping the cursor in editor body try to select a Font(ex:Georgia).

Expected Result:

see that font is selected and shown in Font Name drop down list.

Actual Result:

Font selection goes back to empty by itself

3. select the font type again. (I am able to select the font this time).

4. Change font size to 22.

5. Click on Bold button & notice that the button doesn't has any effect.

6. Click on Underline button & notice that the button doesn't has any effect.

7. Start typing some text.

Expected Result:

see that text has font Georgia and Size 22 ad should be Bold and Underlined.

Actual Result:

See that Types text has only Underline applied and no Font Name, Font Size or Bold formatting applied.

Tested against IE 6 ,7 & 8.

To reproduce this defect in Ajax sample, type some text,Remove the Editor,Click on Create Editor again & follow steps 1 to 7 and you will see the same behavior.

Reduced TC:

1. Press "tab" key to put cursor at the beginning of doc;
2. Click on "Bold", "Italic" in sequence;
3. Type few chars;
   • Actual Result: Only "Italic" get applied to inserted text.

In fact pending inline style doesn't work at the beginning of any block that has contents :/

[garry.yao]

Being a browser text selection bug - IE report wrong selection state when cursor collapsed inside inline element followed by text node at the beginning of block, we cannot guarantee any fixing, while there's still a chance that #1272 will bring a fix to this problem later.

When looking at ticket #6706 comment12 and comment 13, it makes me think that this ticket is in fact duplicate of #6706
