Moving the text cursor inside form elements causes js-error and breaks source-mode

[janpe]

Moving the text cursor inside a submit, textarea or such by using the arrow keys causes an error shown in Firebug: "Error: Permission denied to access property 'nodeType'" in ckeditor.js on line 13.

This will also result in the Source-button not working so that you cannot enter the source-mode. The button will work again after moving the cursor out of that place.

Here's a sample source code with which you can easily reproduce the bug by moving the cursor with your arrow keys.

Also tested this on the nightly build.

<h1>Form</h1><p><input id="upload" name="upload" type="file" /><br /><input id="submitForm" name="submitForm" type="submit" value="Submit" /></p>"

I am using Win7 Pro and Firefox 16.0.2

Cursor inside the submit input and firebug showing the error

Problem can be reproduced in Firefox browser only from CKEditor 3.1. It occurs also in CKE 4.x (v4).

JS ERROR:
Message: Error: Permission denied to access property 'nodeType'
Line: 25 URI: ckeditor/core/dom/node.js

NOTE: The same error is thrown in Firefox and CKEditor 4.x only for TC mentioned in this ticket: #9881
