IE 8/9 erratic context menu behavior

[Charlie Shehadi]

In the latest nightly build:

using IE 8 - if I first copy something, then go to:

​http://nightly.ckeditor.com/5378/_samples/replacebyclass.html

then right-click, the context menu appears, but "Paste" is greyed out.

if I right-click again, the context menu appears, and "Paste" is now an active option

If I delete the text that's currently in CKEditor (Ctrl-A to select all, then delete) and then right-click, the menu appears (all greyed out, then immediately disappears)

This happens when clicking below the content.

To extend a little bit on this issue if I place my cursor at the beginning of the text area, changing the cursor to a "Text Select" cursor, the Paste option is enabled.

I can confirm this is an issue in IE9 as well.

Supposed to be fixed by #7932.

To be more specific menu is only displayed when right-click takes place on contents.
When you see no text in contents area but the blinking cursor, it means that editor contents are just this one single line and right-click menu will only work there.

Clicking anywhere in content area but below contents will result in disabled menu in IE browsers.

Issue reproducible from CKEditor 3.0 in IE.

I did a quick test and it seems that patch from #7932 has fixed this issue.
