Bug Description
ABSTRACT:
During posting to Developer's forum at Mahara.org using MSIE9, the editor plugin would not allow writing into the fields.
MAHARA VERSION:
Assumed 1.4
BROWSER VERSON:
-MSIE9
DESCRIPTION:
It appears that it may be due to AJAX/HTML 5. The same issues are present in the latest WP version where the browser (MSIE7) would not correctly render the editor. In this case, when attempting to post the cursor would enter the textarea. As a workaround, I attempted to use the "paste from word" options. The effect is the same here as in WP, if it does post then it will enter the text in the editor otherwise the text simply disappears or never renders.
Additionally in trying to get the teh text editor to render the text into the textarea, multiple reloads or trying to click in the textarea seemed to work.

A workaround for this in IE8 / IE9 is to switch the browser to compatibility mode - but that needs to be done at user end on every machine so doesn't resolve the issue.
