Copy text from table row generate extra space for each IE9

Question

I'm having a auto adding space issue when copying text on simple table:

<table>
    <tr>
        <td>foo</td>
        <td>bar bar2</td>
    </tr>
</table>

with a combination of meta tag below:

<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=9" />

Pasting text on copied text using IE10 browser with IE10 Browser Mode and IE9 Document standard mode resulted below:

foo bar bar2

Problem appears when I tried to paste text on copied text using IE9 browser with IE9 browser mode and IE9 Document standard mode with result below:

foo 

bar bar2

It is not possible for me to upgrade the PC using IE9 to IE10.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
