    Problem copying bullet-points

    Have come across an issue when copying text that is in a bulleted-list.
     
    In a nut-shell the first 2 lines underneath "Awaiting Replies" are in a bulleted list.
    High-lighting from the text "* Mrs H. SMITH, Meals on Wheels" and then copying and pasting a few lines down seems to show that the bullet point has been copied as well however when that text selected you can see on the toolbar that the Bulleted-list button is not indicating the text is actually in a list.
     

    If at this point we press the bullet-point button on the toolbar, the HTML gets reformatted with the

    correct <ul> tags.

    However, if we do not notice this issue and save the content then that portion of the HTML appears as:
    <p>Awaiting Replies</p>
    <ul><li>* Dr F. SMITH</li><li>* Mrs H. SMITH, Meals on Wheels</li></ul>
    <p>&nbsp;</p></li><li>* Mrs H. SMITH, Meals on Wheels</li>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>

    You can see the initial entries are case within a <ul><li> and </li></ul> but the copied and pasted item
    is just encased within<li> and </li> with an extra </li> preceding it for some reason.

    At this point if we highlight the text, the toolbar still does not register that the text is a proper bulleted-list and
    if we now try and do this, a second bullet-point appears on the same line like a fat colon :

    Further, once we reload the content and save it again without making any particular changes, the underlying
    HTML changes to the following:
    <p>Awaiting Replies</p>
    <ul><li>* Dr F. SMITH</li><li>* Mrs H. SMITH, Meals on Wheels</li></ul>
    <p>&nbsp;</p></li><li>
    <p>* Mrs H. SMITH, Meals on Wheels </p>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <p>&nbsp;</p></li>

     Again the list item is orphaned and there is that extra </li>.

     I'd like to know if there is some method when copying list items to a location outside of a current list where the
    list tags <ol> or <ul> can be correctly placed with the list item itself to avoid this behaviour.

    We are using CuteEditor v6.6 on ASP.NET with FrameWork 1.1 and Internet Explorer 8 and 9.
