I have tested this issue in version 3.5.2 and in revision version [6565] (​http://rev.ckeditor.com/ckeditor/trunk/6565/_samples/) in all browsers and didn't get the expected result.

In which browser did you get this problem, and in which sample? Perhaps OS also matters?

Could you please provide me with more details.

I have tested it against nightly build & i could reproduce this problem in IE6,IE7 & IE8 and my OS is Windows XP.

Best way to reproduce is keep the cursor in first cell of the pasted Table and open Table Properties dialog and press OK button with out changing any properties as i mentioned in the steps to reproduce.

This issue happens only for tables pasted from word.

Confirmed in IE6 using the following source: (use "click here" table cell to reproduce it)

<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td style="width: 197px">
				<p>
					Ewrew</p>
			</td>
			<td style="width: 197px">
				<p>
					435</p>
			</td>
			<td style="width: 197px">
				<p>
					43543543</p>
			</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td style="width: 197px">
				<p>
					Werw</p>
			</td>
			<td style="width: 197px">
				<p>
					435</p>
			</td>
			<td style="width: 197px">
				<p>
					click here</p>
			</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td style="width: 197px">
				<p>
					435</p>

@satya - did you manage to confirm this bug in IE8 in IE8 standards mode? I can only reproduce it in IE6.

I could reproduce it on IE6 & IE7 but not IE8

[Krzysztof Studnik]

I was able to reproduce it since CKE v3.4.1, for IE6

[Jakub Ś]

I have managed to reproduce it on both IE6 and IE7.

When you click "cell -> cell properties" and than press OK on dialog without making changes - error illegal argument occurs. For "cell properties" this has been true since CKEditor version 3.4.1;

Problem described here for "table properties" is the same but I was able to reproduce it only in CKEditor 3.5.3 svn. This might be because of thicket #7529
