If you specify a maxwidth style for any element, for example, a paragraph, the content within the container is not editable in Internet Explorer. Instead of being able to click to the spot you'd like to type or delete, drag handles appear around the container, and only allow dragging functionality for the entire container.

This bug would most likely occur on any element with fixed widths as well as max-widths. I have seen another open Issue where this behavior was described for a fixed-width DIV.

This bug does not occur in Firefox. I use Firefox but my client does not. I consider this a significant bug.

Temporary Fix:
If you have a DIV or P with fixed- or max- widths defined, remove those classes or inline styles to enable edit functionality. I remedied it by removing the max-width declaration in the CSS, but this is not a proper solution.

I have a similar problem. I have not checked wether there is a fixed with. However I can edit from firefox and changes are shown in firefox. However the changes made by firefox are also not shown in IE. . Likewise any changes that I have tried doing from IE 8 dors not take effect. Example is changing the text formatting from centerred into left oriented. The IE does not allow me to even do the changes and even less saving the changes.

Anyone who can help here? I am almost loosing a cutomer based on this issue.

Regards
