Not possible to edit selected element

[Alfonso Martínez de Lizarrondo]

Given the following sample html

<p>Select this: <a href="http://ckeditor.com/" style="display: inline-block"
><img alt="smiley" height="20" src="../plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.gif" 
title="smiley" width="20" /></a>.</p>

in IE (tested 8 & 9), select the image & link, use the context menu and both the options to edit the link and image appear correctly, but using any option will bring up a dialog as if nothing was selected.

If instead of using the context menu the toolbar is used then it works correctly, as well as double clicking.

The problem seems to be that after closing the context menu the selection isn't restored properly.

I haven't tried to look at previous versions to check the behavior there.

The bug has reproducible in IE8, IE9 only form CKEditor 3.0

Another issue for IE8-9 only and display: inline-block; was reported here #9111.
