IE problems created unordered list from pasted list

[Mike Koepke]

IE is not working correctly when pasting a list of text.

1. On test site with IE, paste the following list:

* Escape from "Corporate-Cubical Hell"
* A Series of Law-Lectures
* The Weather
* An Overnight Jazz D.J.
* A 6-Pack on my Patio

2. Highlight text and hit bulleted list toolbar item.

3. Only a single bullet is created on the line above the Escape... line

Source code generated:

<ul>
    <li><br />
    * Escape from &quot;Corporate-Cubical Hell&quot;<br />
    * A Series of Law-Lectures<br />
    * The Weather<br />
    * An Overnight Jazz D.J.<br />
    * A 6-Pack on my Patio</li>
</ul>

Same behavior is pasting with Ctrl+v, Paste toolbar, Paste as Plain Text, or Paste from Word (with Ctrl+v)

FF generates a bulleted list using the steps above. Source code:

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
    <li>* Escape from &quot;Corporate-Cubical Hell&quot;</li>
    <li>* A Series of Law-Lectures</li>
    <li>* The Weather</li>
    <li>* An Overnight Jazz D.J.</li>
    <li>* A 6-Pack on my Patio</li>
</ul>

The point here, which requires discussions, is how should we handle blocks with <br/> when EnterMode=p (or div)?

In a normal situation, lines separated by a <br/> represent a "single block". Each block is separated by <p>s.

I'm not saying that IE has the correct behavior, or Firefox is correct instead. But, we aim to provide the same results with both browsers.

I'm sure that, no matter which choice me make here, people will always be complaining that the editor doesn't behaves the other way. Maybe make it configurable, making the code much more complex?
