It's IE9. I can run it in IE8 or IE7 Mode, and I get the same error.
Here is how you can reproduce the issue:
2. Switch to html mode, and replace the defult demo html markup with this:
<table style="padding-bottom: 0cm; margin: 0cm; padding-left: 0cm; padding-right: 0cm; font-family: Arial, , sansserif;background: rgb(51,51,153) repeat-x; padding-top: 0cm; moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" background="" bgcolor="#ffffff">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top" align="center"><!-- Table for display -->
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="600" bgcolor="#ffffff">

Step 3: Switch back to "Normal" view, then do a CTRL-A and CTRL-C to copy all of it.
Step 4: Now open a new IE browser window, and then go to the cutesoft demo page again.
Step 5: Do a CTRL-A and CTRL-V to paste the content and you will see the error.
The key is to copy from "Normal" view and paste in to "Normal" view. I have tried it with many different html templates that we use, and I can reproduce the error in all of them.
