IE8 Paste throws errors in <br> mode

Reported by: Freddie Bingham Owned by: Garry Yao
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: Core : Pasting Version: 3.6.2
Keywords: IE Cc: piotr.grzyb@…

Description

  1. Load http://nightly.ckeditor.com/7309/_samples/enterkey.html
  2. Change Enter mode mode to "Break the line with a <BR>";
  3. Click in Editor
  4. Highlight "sample text"
  5. Press CTRL-C, CTRL-V

Note the javascript error that is thrown. The issue seems to happen with any paste action when text is highlighted.

Note that this does not happen in IE8 mode of IE9. Only native IE8 is afflicted.

IE used a transient bookmark node (~) in DOM internally during the paste operation, which breaks the our selection range retrieval logic.

This is some <STRONG>sample text</STRONG>. You are some~<A href="http://ckeditor.com/" data-cke-saved-href="http://ckeditor.com/">CKEditor</A>

The patch fix the selection system by traversing through child nodes when possible instead of relying on a sibling reference.

I have applied the patch, bug still exists. Select any text, right click-Copy, right click-Paste.

Exception appears in line 797 in selection/plugin.js (line number after patching):

return { container : child, offset : child.nodeValue.length };

child.nodeValue throws InvalidArgument exception.

I'd like to try out this patch, but it's written for 3.6.2, and I'm using 3.6.4. Plugin.js has changed enough in 3.6.4 that It's hard to apply the patch. Any chance of getting an updated version of the patch?

I wasn't able to reproduce this problem in latest CKEditor 4.4.2 anymore.

Resolution: fixed

I can't reproduce it too. It's very likely that we fixed this issue in CKEditor 4.0 when custom HTML insertion algorithm was introduced. I closed number of similar issues after that.
