CONTENTEDITABLE - NO NEWLINE ACCEPTED

Dear users,

I have found a strange behaviour in CKEditor version 3.4.1 and CKEditor 3.5 (revision 6260),
my browser ist IE 8.0[.6001.18702].
To reproduce this, just open "...ckeditor/_samples/fullpage.html".
Click on "source", delete the contents and paste the following code into the editing area:

<p><span  contenteditable="false" style="background-color: yellow">~some text (contenteditable=false)~</span></p>

Now click on "source" again.
You should see a yellow text (~some text (contenteditable=false)~) and the cursor is displayed left to the text.
Now try to set the cursor right to the text... YOU CAN'T !!!
So you cannot enter a new line after the span with attribute "contenteditable=false".
My workaround is to add a blank after the span, but how can I do if the source-Button is disabled/missing?

Please advice...
Best regards

Re: CONTENTEDITABLE - NO NEWLINE ACCEPTED

Hmmm.....tried what you posted and got the same results but at the same time I was able to add a new line, no problem. IE8 here on CK 3.5. You are correct that you have an issue if you are just trying to place the cursor to the right to begin to work. The Span, the way you have it, is now being handled like an object. Same as if it were an image. You can drag it, stretch it, etc. I simply started typing where the cursor was (yes, it was to the left) and then dragged the yellow span box to the left where I wanted it.

Yes, it would be nice to see this fixed but, for now that is how to manage it should the "source" button be unavailable.
