Activating a FancyTree node causes Backspace to stop working in input fields on IE8

[eerohele]

This issue occurs with the newest FancyTree version (as well as older ones I've tried) and does not seem to depend on the jQuery version.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open this JS Bin link in IE8 (here's a Gist if you don't like JS Bin). Note: This issue does not occur when using a newer IE in IE8 mode — you have to use real IE8.
2. Type something in the text field and try pressing Backspace. It should work.
3. Click any of the FancyTree nodes (Node 1, for instance) to activate it.
4. Try deleting some of the text in the text field by pressing Backspace. It doesn't work.

Something that may help point you in the right direction: I tried commenting out l. 3034 of jquery.fancytree.js and that seems to fix the backspace issue without preventing the node from being activated, but it probably does something else important I didn't get to yet.

The console is of no help, unfortunately, since IE8 doesn't have one.

I tried with native IE 8 and the current code (as refdreenced in you JS Bin sample, and it seemed to work for me.
Could you confirm that the issue can be closed for you?

@mar10: I tried with native IE IE 8.0.7601.17514 and it seems to work great. Thank you!
