6204	IE: Spurious html tags wrap links on paste	Jude Allred		"Not reproducable in Firefox or Chrome.

I've also seen '<span style=""...""> ... </span>' wrap the links, but I don't have a solid repro for that.

This bug is dependant on the stylesheet which is being run with ckeditor.  The stylesheet that ckeditor.com/demo is using doesn't exhibit this bug, so step 4 is entirely about augmenting the demo's css to show the bug.  In my production environment, custom templates are allowed on the wiki: One such template gives special coloring and text-decoration to 'a', and that revealed this bug.

Here's the repro for the <u> tags:

1. use IE8

2. go to ckeditor.com/demo

3. set the editor source to:

{{{
<p>
	some say <a class=""wikiNew"" href=""default.asp?W2648"">i am a link</a></p>
}}}

4. switch back to wysiwyg mode

5. use the IE8 dev tools to inspect the 'i am a link' href
   click the 'style' tab
   click the link to 'contents.css' so we can edit the styles
   replace the ""TEXTAREA"" style with the following rule:
{{{
   A
     text-decoration: none;
}}}

6. Look at the editor-- you'll see that 'i am a link' is no longer underlined.

7. in the editor, select ""some say i am a link""

8. copy and paste this text using ctrl+c, ctrl+v

9. Notice that 'i am a link' is again underlined

10. inspect the source; here's what I got:
{{{
<p>
	some say <a class=""wikiNew"" href=""default.asp?W2648"">i am a link</a></p>
<p>
	some say <a class=""wikiNew"" href=""default.asp?W2648""><u>i am a link</u></a></p>
}}}

11. [BUG] notice that there's an extra <u></u> wrapped around 'i am a link'.
  [Expected]  The copy paste didn't inject anything new."	Bug	closed	Normal		General		worksforme
