Description of problem: The javascript in the editarea RPM does not play nicely with IE9. Selecting text / moving the cursor is flat out broken and the text looks fuzzy. See http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3081703&group_id=164008&atid=829997 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure that IE9's "document mode" is set to IE9 standards. 2. Attempt to edit text in an editarea window Actual results: Cursor always moves to the end of the text, you can't select text, text looks fuzzy. Expected results: It works as expected Additional info: The problem comes because IE9 actually correctly implements something that no other version of IE has correctly implemented. Editarea has some hack in it to do something like: if ( usingIE ) { do some stupid hack to make it work right } and the stupid hack actually breaks IE 9. The following updates should fix the issue: diff -uNr editarea.old/edit_area/edit_area.css editarea/edit_area/edit_area.css --- editarea.old/edit_area/edit_area.css 2010-01-14 01:56:34.000000000 -0500 +++ editarea/edit_area/edit_area.css 2012-04-09 17:27:12.995918527 -0400 @@ -143,7 +143,7 @@ }^M ^M .hidden{^M - opacity: 0.2; ^M + opacity: 0; ^M filter:alpha(opacity=20);^M }^M ^M diff -uNr editarea.old/edit_area/manage_area.js editarea/edit_area/manage_area.js --- editarea.old/edit_area/manage_area.js 2010-01-14 01:56:34.000000000 -0500 +++ editarea/edit_area/manage_area.js 2012-04-09 17:29:33.775855141 -0400 @@ -200,11 +200,14 @@ return sel; ^M };^M ^M + // IE < 9 ^M + var need_createRange = !("selectionStart" in document.createElement("textarea"));^M + ^M // set IE position in Firefox mode (textarea.selectionStart and textarea.selectionEnd)^M EditArea.prototype.getIESelection= function(){^M var selectionStart, selectionEnd, range, stored_range;^M ^M - if( !this.isIE )^M + if( !this.isIE || !need_createRange )^M return false;^M ^M // make it work as nowrap mode (easier for range manipulation with lineHeight)^M @@ -246,7 +249,7 @@ EditArea.prototype.setIESelection= function(){^M var a = this.textarea, nbLineStart, nbLineEnd, range;^M ^M - if( !this.isIE )^M + if( !this.isIE || !need_createRange )^M return false;^M ^M nbLineStart = a.value.substr(0, a.selectionStart).split("\n").length - 1;^M
