Error 800a025e when deleting empty table cells in IE

[Evan Krall]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Ctrl-A, Backspace to empty the document
   
2. Create a 3-row, 2-column table of 500px (this is the default)
   
3. Click to place the cursor in the bottom-right cell
   
4. Shift-up
   
5. Backspace
   

Expected: the bottom row gets deleted from the table

Actual: "Could not complete the operation due to error 800a025e"

Error occurs on line 1294 of _source/plugins/selection/plugin.js, in revision 5826:

 ieRange.select();

To clarify this is only in IE 8

Also, if there's text in the table, selecting the bottom-right cell, shift-up, backspace doesn't delete anything; it just moves the cursor to the next cell up.

Result of steps, desribed in the ticket

IE8: setting focus to the bottom-right cell, shift-up, backspace, deletes selectted row, but does not resize table. Also there is no visible selection on table cells.

Opera 10.61: It is impossible to delete only selected rows.

Chrome & Firefox: Works fine.

Confirmed for Opera 10.61.3484

IE8 and IE9:
Message: error code 800a025e.
Line: 1704
URI: /3.6.2/ckeditor/_source/plugins/selection/plugin.js

IE6 and IE7
It is only possible to delete cells on the right that way. Cells on the left stay untouched.

Opera and Firefox 10: Couldn't delete rows that way (only text inside them if present)

Webkit: If you have to press shift+up two times to delete row that way.

Problem can no longer be reproduced in CKEditor 4.2.1
