 When pasting a link to TinyMCE using Win 7, IE 11 extra markup is added to
 links resulting in problems with display. For example, pasting:


 {{{
 <a
 href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Validating_Sanitizing_and_Escaping_User_Data"
 target="_blank">number of functions available to handle nearly any
 situation</a>
 }}}

 will result in:


 {{{
 <a
 href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Validating_Sanitizing_and_Escaping_User_Data"
 target="_blank"><u><span style="color: #0066cc;">number of functions
 available to handle nearly any situation</span></u></a>
 }}}

 This is reproducible by pasting any text with a link into TinyMCE using
 Windows 7 and IE11.
