IE8 Insert Image about wysihtml5

[tiff]

This works for me correctly when using the example editor:

Are you trying to insert the image in a different way?

Yes, I use an overlay/modal where the user enters the image url. I do it like this:
editor.fire("unset_placeholder"); // remove placeholder if first thing in the editor is link/image
editor.focus();
editor.composer.commands.exec("insertImage", imageUrl);

Ah I see. The problem you are dealing with is a pure IE issue.
This crappy browser loses it's selection whenever you unfocus it.

You can fix that easily:
Before the editor loses focus in order to show the modal window do var bookmark = editor.composer.selection.getBookmark();

When the editor receives focus again (after closing the modal window) do:
editor.composer.selection.setBookmark(bookmark);

You might also need to set unselectable="on" on the button element that triggers the modal window to prevent the editor from losing focus too early (before you capture the bookmark).

Hope this helps.
