IE: We can't apply text/background color with out focus in editor body.

[Satya Minnekanti]

To reproduce the defect:

Open Ajax sample, with out focus in Editor body click on text or background color drop down menu and select a color.

Expected Result: cursor goes to editor body and the selected text/background color applies to the empty paragraph.

Actual Result: we are getting an error and the error is "null is null or not an object". Cursor goes out of editor body and when we keep cursor in editor body using mouse and type the text the selected text/background color is not applied to the typed text.

Tested in IE6, IE7, IE8 & IE9

The JS error:
Message: 'null' is empty or not an object
Line: 1514
Char: 4
URI: /_source/plugins/styles/plugin.js

Just like in #7905 I've been able to confirm it only for IE8 and IE9 from rev [6920]

[Frederico Caldeira Knabben]

It looks like we need to review something after [6920].

Patch fixes also #7905 and #7919.

With the patch if previous focus is from another editor instance, focus is absorbed into the current one, which will break things like shared toolbar.

[Garry Yao]

Other browsers are free of this trouble as the confirm click blurs the float panel properly.

Have to update the patch due to #7916, which is quite hard to get fixed with the same way in second patch.

[Sa'ar Zac Elias]

With 7904_3 this ticket's TC fails while #7905, #7919 and #7916 are resolved.

[Sa'ar Zac Elias]

Fixed with [6985].
