List item breakage in IE8

[Michael Camden]

Test environment, IE8 - Windows Vista (Problem does not occur on Windows 7)

After moving an existing list item down, and deleting that move, the list item does not correctly return to it's original position.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Access ckeditor.com/demo
2. Create three paragraphs, and turn them in to list items.
   • Item 1
   • Item 2
   • Item 3
3. Place your cursor before Item 2, and press the enter key. This will create an empty item between Item 1 and Item 2. You should have four total items, with one empty one.
   • Item 1
   • 
     
   • Item 2
   • Item 3
4. Again place your cursor before Item 2, and press the backspace key. The bullet for Item 2 is removed, and Item 2 is placed below the empty item.
   • Item 1
   • 
     Item 2
   • Item 3

It seems that this process will orphan the Item 2 text outside of an LI tag. If you look at the editor source, you will see...

<ul>

<li>

Item 1</li>

<li>

&nbsp;</li>

Item 2 <li>

Item 3</li>

</ul>

Ideally this will behave as it does on Windows 7 IE 8. In that environment Item 2 will merge back in to the empty item.
