8691	[IE] Browser crash when pasting certain content	Damian	Garry Yao	"
When pasting certain HTML content from an application like IBM Sametime into CKEditor, the browser will crash. This is consistently reproducible. 

This issue was originally reported against IE8 by a customer.

'''When testing in IE9, switch the ""Document Mode"" to ""IE7 Standards""'''. It does not appear to crash in other document modes.

The crash usually occurs in plugins/selection/plugin.js line 1719 on the call to ieRange.select() or an earlier line with the same call: 
{{{
....
else
{
	this.setEndBefore( endNode );
	endNode.remove();
1719 -> ieRange.select();
}

this.document.fire( 'selectionchange' );
....
}}}


To reproduce:
1. Copy a snippet of a chat log from IBM Sametime. Alternatively, the clipboard HTML data flavor has been attached to this ticket.
2. Use CTRL+A in CKEditor, then CTRL+V to paste

Result: the browser crashes
