I can think of 3 different ways of cutting and pasting plain text. The first two ways work correctly in IE7 and IE8, but the third fails to strip out the html bits (screenshot also attached):

a) Click the Paste as Plain Text button: correctly pastes as plain text
b) Type CTRL V: correctly pastes as plain text
c) From the IE menu bar, Click Edit >> Paste : does not strip out the HTML

Is there a way to prevent the problem in scenario c above?

Note: I do have config.forcePasteAsPlainText = true; set in my ckeditor.config.js file

Thanks!

Title: Paste as Plain Text problem for Internet Explorer » Paste as Plain Text Loophole
Version: 6.x-1.0 » 6.x-1.1

This issue is not limited to Internet Explorer after all. It also exists in Firefox. I suspect the same behavior occurs in Safari, Chrome, and Opera but have not tested those browsers. This issue exists in version 1.0 and 1.1.

To re-iterate, users can get around the Paste as Plain Text setting by clicking Edit >> Paste from the browser menu.

Any ideas on how to close this loophole would be appreciated.

It isn't module bug but internal ckeditor. I report it on http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/5448.
