IE8: Extra empty list item is added to a list when using backspace to delete an outer list item

[James Cunningham]

Steps to reproduce the defect:

1. Open the Ajax sample in IE8.

2. Paste in the following code.

<ol>
	<li>list item 1
		<ol>
			<li>list item 2</li>
		</ol>
	</li>
	<li>list item 3</li>
</ol>

3. Place the cursor at the end of the last list item.

4. Use backspace to delete the last list item so that the cursor is now at the end of the second list item.

Result: An extra empty list item is added underneath the second list item (see screenshot).

I can still reproduce it on ​http://rev.ckeditor.com/ckeditor/trunk/6593/_samples/ajax.html in IE8 strict.

An extra list element shows under IE8 if you remove list item in wysiwyg mode.

I am unable to reproduce in both in IE8/Win7 EN and in IE8/XP EN.

Occurs in IE8 since CKEditor version 3.0

This may not be directly related, but also only occurs in IE. I did not want to create a new ticket unless this is in fact unrelated.

Paste in the following code:

	<ul>
	<li>item 1</li>
	<li>item 2</li>
	</ul>
	<p>paragraph</p>

In editing view, place your cursor in front of the word "paragraph" and hit backspace once. Return to source view and you will see it has created the following invalid html:

	<ul>
	<li>item 1</li>
	<li>item 2</li>
	paragraph</ul>

In the editing view, if you then change the list formatting (such as from unordered to ordered list) it will "correct" the invalid html it created by deleting the paragraph entirely. You can try this with a large paragraph instead of just the word paragraph, and you will see the whole paragraph disappear from the document.

I am unable to reproduce in both in IE8/Win7 EN and in IE8/XP EN.

Can be confirmed on IE8/XP only, WFM with IE9/Win7.
