Description Stephen Herr 2012-04-09 19:51:04 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #712193 +++

Description of problem:

When using IE9, the editor in the 'File Contents' area of 
https://<SATELLITE>/rhn/configuration/file/FileDetails.do does not work properly.

Random highlighting and cursor overrides occur. Attempting to use the 'Toggle editor' tickbox doesn't resolve the issue. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat Satellite 5.4


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit a file content using IE9

Actual results:
Random highlighting and cursor overrides occur

Expected results:
Edit file properly. 

Additional info:

  ** ONLY OCCURS WITH IE9 **

Workaround for this bug is that customers can enable "Compatibility Mode" for this page in IE9: http://cggallant.blogspot.com/2011/03/document-compatibility-modes-in.html

One way: 1) press F12, 2) change "Document Mode" to "IE8 Standards" or something.

We do not build the editarea rpm for Spacewalk, so there's nothing I can do here.

I have filed bugs upstream on editarea, patches to fix editarea can be found on those bugs:
