Yeah, unfortunately rewriting that much of the guts of vBulletin is just way out of scope for us on this. I think the real roots on this were not enough testing early on (not enough test variety from different sources, into different browsers, with all the different editor types selected) to identify all the different code pasting fidelity issues and also underestimating the severity of the code fidelity issue we did see and thinking early on that the fix was always just a couple of lines of code away.

But for now, I've reset the preferences to the more basic editor for new users. You do lose some of the new editor features (wysiwyg) if you make this change. I think the better solution for most people is to use FireFox.
