IE9: Browser crashes when inserting image links with different targets

[James Cunningham]

Steps to reproduce the defect:

1. Open the Ajax sample in IE9.

2. Open the image dialog.

3. On the Image Info tab, Paste the following image into the URL field. ​http://a.cksource.com/e/1/img/logo-ckeditor-h100.png

4. Click on the Link tab & paste the same URL into the URL field.

5. Set the target to New Window (_blank) & click OK.

6. See that the image is inserted into the editor.

7. Right click on the image & open the image properties dialog.

8. Click on the Link tab & change the target to Topmost Window (_top) & click OK.

9. Click on Remove Editor.

Result: A message saying Internet Explorer has stopped working is displayed and the page closes

It looks to be related to the image selection state when remove editor (doesn't happen when first remove image selection from editor).

Seems like cleaning the selection is enough to resolve the bug.

[Garry Yao]

Let's keep the hack right now inside of the selection plugin.

The new patch doesn't seem to help to resolve the bug.

Perhaps I get some luck with my previous patch but ok...

Fixed with [6993].
