I can only get this to happen in IE 9. I start typing and suddenly the cursor locks. It continues to blink but can't go backward, forwards or type anymore. You can't event click somewhere else in the editing area with your mouse (like trying to get the cursor focus somewhere else in the text and then back to where it locked).

The only way to start typing again is by clicking out of the field - take focus away - and then come back.

I had to turn auto scayt off. This seems to have fixed it. But i'd prefer auto scayt on if possible.

I just added the latest library but that didn't fix the issue.

Please check your IE 9 on demo page : http://ckeditor.com/demo.
Can you reproduce your issue there ?

I went there and was not able to reproduce the problem. Is auto start scayt enabled there?

Could it be something with my javascript?

@IWasBornToWin,
on demo page SCAYT is turned off on start. You should turn it on manually.

That's what I had to do. When I had it automatically turning on it was giving me problems.

With SCAYT automatically on it works everywhere except IE.

Most probably there is some markup which leads to the behavior described. If possible, could you please test content of editor on http://ckeditor.com/demo and if the problem can be reproduced provide WebSpellChecker.net with this content.

@ WebSpell - see #3 and 4. I only had this problem when SCAYT was set to be on automatically. I turned it off and the problem is gone. Turnig it on manually the problem is still gone. So testing at ckeditor site won't work because it's not auto turned on.
