IE 9 Text Formatting Not Applying

[TomNM]

In IE 9, NOT in compatibility mode, paste the following into ​http://nightly-v4.ckeditor.com/3563/samples/replacebycode.html in source mode.

<p>Beamsville<br />
6102 Beamsville-Union City Road<br />
Greenville, Ohio 34331<br />

Switch back to wysiwyg mode.

Select the first 3 lines of text.

Attempt to bold or underline or apply a font to that text. The text will be deselected and the formatting will not be applied. I did not see a js error.

This is the same ticket as #9097.

If you start selection between text and left editor border you will get this effect in IE8 and IE9 when applying inline style.

#9097 was fixed for v3 but this problem occurs in v4

[Piotrek Koszuliński]

Fixed after porting v3's changes to v4.

While I confirm that this is fixed in IE 8, it is not fixed in IE 9. I can still duplicate it in IE 9 at ​http://nightly-v4.ckeditor.com/3563/samples/replacebycode.html and in my fresh nightly install.

WFM for nightly build in IE9, could u be more specific on the way of how the text selection is made?

Select the first 3 lines of text normally right to left. Naturally and instinctively, you'll probably end your selection with the cursor outside of the bounds of the editor.

Sorry guys I haven’t checked this well enough. Bug #9097 fixed problems for IE8 and TC presented there for IE9 but TC presented in this ticket can still be reproduced in IE9 from CKEditor 3.6.3 rev. [7374].

Please note that this is only happening when you select 3 lines from left to right and finish selection outside of editor or between text and editor border. Selecting right to left works fine.

Does MileStone still apply in this case?

I worked on reduced TC of this ticket, it shows that the bug is independent of v3 bug #9097:

1. It affects only when selection from right-to-left;
2. It affects only when BR is contained in the text selection;
3. It's irrelevant of the selection end.

And IE10/9 are currently affected by this bug.

It's confirmed that the change proposed in #9535 patch can resolve this issue, we'd wait for that ticket to be closed first at the moment.

It's fixed by master commit:
