Copying / pasting in IE creates font tags

Steps to reproduce:

   This is some sample text.
   

2. If you make the first line green, select some text and paste it in the second line, you'll get:

<p>
	This is <font color="#008000">some </font>some sample text.</p>

The same thing is happening with every span style (like font -size or font name or font colour) you use e.g.

• Click on new Page button
• Press Enter 4 times
• Type "ABCD", select it and apply: Font-style Comic-Sans, Font-size 26px.
• Select "BC", press CRTL+C
• Paste it in one of lines above with CRTL+V or paste button.

Worst part is that if you do that in plain contenteditable div i.e.

<div style="border:1px solid blue; margin-top:10px" contenteditable="true">
<p>IE font issue bug - copy part of last line to one of empty lines above</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 24px;">ABCD</span></span></p>
</div>

you get the same result thus this looks like IE internal bug

It looks like CKEditor 4.1 has fixed this issue. When you copy text styled in spans it gets pasted wrapped in spans (not in font).
