No thoughts on what might be wrong or how to fix this?
Oddly, I did notice that elements like input fields in the popup image dialog, for example, include a z-index value of 1, despite the fact that the dialog is supposed to have a base z-index of 10000 (by default), so don't now if this contributes to the problem or not. I mean, the "gray modal cover" uses the value 10000, then the dialog DIV itself shows a z-index of 10010, but the input fields show a z-index of 1. However, since the input fields are visible, it's like the z-index of a nested element cannot be lower than its container div from a visibility perspective, but it could still be a problem since my editor is in a modal dialog that itself has a higher z-index and also wants to block out access to all elements under it.
Okay, noted a few new things that may help someone understand what is going wrong:
On IE9, I can still right click in a field and PASTE data into the fields, just can't type or click. FF5 doesn't seem to allow this.
Using CSS, I was able to convert the A and INPUT tags to have a z-index of 40000, but that made no difference.
Lastly, in FF5 with Firebug, I noted that even Firebug cannot select a field by clicking on it. It's as if the entire browser refuses to allow the click in that area, but I Firebug can still select other elements in the window below. To navigate to the input fields in Firebug, I have to basically open the DOM tree to zero down to the actual INPUT element rather than just click on it using the element inspector.
