IE: Focus lost when editor's horizontal or vertical scroll bar is scrolled

[Satya Minnekanti]

To reproduce the defect:

1. Open any CK Editor sample & insert a table that is wider than the editor so that vertical & horizontal scroll bars are displayed (e.g. 2000px with 30 rows & 10 columns) .

2. Enter content in table cells, keep cursor in one of table cells & move either vertical or horizontal scroll bar.

Issue: In IE8 & IE9 Focus goes out of editor body where as in IE7 OR IE8/IE9 Compat view cursor jumps out of table.

Issue one has been reproducible in IE8-9 from CKEditor 3.4.2.

Issue two has been reproducible in IE6-7 and IE8-9 Compact view from CKEditor 3.6.3 rev. [7374] There are also other tickets caused by revision [7374] - #9175, #9780 and #8919.

Is issue 1 fixed?

• In IE8 & IE9 Focus goes out of editor body

I am running into this problem in IE9 with CKEditor 3.3.1. Please confirm if this has been fixed and point to the change set.

Actually only issue 1 is reproducible.

If you use scroll bars focus is gone from table but if you press TAB focus will go back to same cell. Perhaps this can be used as workaround.

I have tested CKE 3.6.6 and CKE 4.2.1.

I am listening to blur event of CKEditor to save the text and close the editor. So, when the scrollbar is clicked, editor loses focus and fires blur event in IE9. This leads to closing of editor. That's why I would like to prevent or ignore blur on scrolling via clicking on scrollbar.
