8435	IE 7/8 Cannot get text selection for the first time	Wilfrid Li		"There is a bug in the latest CKEditor release (3.6.2), where CKEditor cannot obtain the text selection (either selected via 'doubleclick' or 'mouse drag from A to B') under IE (either 7 or 8, not sure about 9 and 10).
I managed to recreate the issue here:
http://staging.clients.webling.com.au/Wilfrid/ckeditor/_samples/mytemplate.html

Select some text in the middle of the sentence, 'text' for example.
Click on the yellow icon in the middle of the toolbars, it will open up an iframe dialog.
Type in anything in the text box and click 'insert link'.
If you debug the javascript, you'll see mySelection.getNative().createRange().text == """"

If you undo the changes in CKEditor and try to insert the text again on the same word, the selection will work as normal.

The following bug above applies to any text the user hasn't previously selected.
