Shift+Enter doens't work at first time in an empty paragraph (IE)

[fredck]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open sample01.html and enable "Show Blocks";
2. Hit Enter at the end of the paragraph;
3. Hit Shift+Enter.

The cursor will make a "quick strange blink", but there will be no visual results.

Switching to source view, the second paragraph will display the correct HTML:

<p><br />
&nbsp;</p>

So it seams that the Shift+Enter itselft is working, but the selection is not being made visible after the <br>.

I'm my latest tests with the SVN version, I'm having this problem only if "Show Blocks" is enabled. In any case it is not making it impossible to have the <br> as expected, so other than being a rare and unfortunate case, it is also something with a minor consequence. Therefore, postponing.

#1348 marked as a dup to this ticket.

IE is so much fun, it screws up the <BR> when any background CSS attribute is applied to the paragraphs. Without the background attribute however (i.e. with the border alone), it would screw up in another funny way in which the <BR> typed would be displayed but not included within the paragraph border.

If this ticket were to be fixed, I think another way of displaying blocks would need to be invented. Otherwise, this ticket might end up as another wontfix.

Sorry! Not fixed... just worked on the wrong ticket. Please ignore my previous comment.

It seems there's no other way to display and block boundaries and displaying the block type without using the buggy CSS attributes. So there's not much we can do here with just JavaScript and CSS. Closing ticket as wontfix.
