Controls affect entire page in IE when useBR

When the following setting is set,

FCKConfig.UseBROnCarriageReturn = true ;

I have a problem that controls for:
justification
lists
Indenting
(not sure of others)

affect the entire page instead of the selected text. Actually you can break with an <hr> but that is not really the best choice.

Other controls such as bold, Italics, underline, and colors work normally.

Is there an elegant way around this. I have considered changing the <br /> to a <p style="margin-bottom:0px;" > which I think may give me the same look I am looking for and resolve the problem with the controls, but this is a bit of a hack and I wondered if anyone had looked into this before?

Thanks,

By the way, things appear to work normally in Firefox despite this setting.

I am using IE 6 and have this problem. It basically makes lists and indents unusable.

Any word of wisdom out there?

In the file fckeditorcode_ie_1.js do a search for DOC_OnKeyDown() from there look across for "<br /> " and chang it to "<p style='margin:0px;'>  "

Note the space after the  

Without this extra space pressing enter with nothing on the line does not cause a line feed. You can get around this by doing a space enter, but I decided to add it into the code. The downside to this is that every line starts with a space. I am still tyring to work this out so that it handles both empty lines and lines with content without adding the extra space.
