Pasting plain text with blank lines intermixed with existing text

[Christopher LaRosa]

The following problem occurs with Internet Explorer 8 (but it works fine in Firefox 3.6):

1. Open a new CKEditor window. You may also use the demo editor at ​http://ckeditor.com/demo, but you must clear the contents first.

2. Enter the following text into the window. Make sure the first line is blank:

four

five

3. Copy the following text from Windows Notepad (or any plain text editor) to the Windows clipboard. Make sure there's a blank line between each text line:

one

two

three

4. Click on the first blank line in CKEditor to set the insertion point to the top of the document.

5. Click Paste.

6. The result is intermixed text as follows:

one

four

five

two
three

The pasted text should have been inserted at the top of the document before the existing text as follows:

one

two

three

four

five

To reproduce this problem reliably, copy the original contents from Notepad -- don't type anything by hand, and don't paste it directly from this bug report. It must be plain text, and copying from Notepad is the best way to ensure that.
