CKEditor 4: Text not selectable by mouse in Source Mode in IE

I found a ticket from a couple of years ago that describes exaclty the problem I'm having. However, I'm not sure how to apply the fix (or if the fix is applicable) for CKEditor 4.

The problem is as follows (taken from http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/6416):

Under IE9

open CKEditor demo

switch to source editing

try to select source text by mouse

Expected: Range of text is selected

Actual: selection is disabled for mouse. I am able to select text by keyboard.
In WYSIWYG, selection by mouse works fine

Any help would be appreciated!

BTW: Love this product. And while I am generally happy with the documentation available on line, I think it would be great to have these forums searchable. Perhaps this issue was dealt with in another forum.

Thanks!

Are you sure that you're

Are you sure that you're using the latest CKEditor version? Not some very old one? This ticket you mentioned is very old and I've just checked that source area works perfectly fine on IE9. Does this issue occur on http://ckeditor.com/demo?

The Search function is

The Search function is available in the top, gray overlay on this website, on the right, next to My Account.

However, it usually is much better to use Google for that with site:ckeditor.com/forums ;-)

Thanks for the reply... but it is the latest

Thanks for the replies... Funny, as soon as I posted, I noticed the search feature.

I was just getting ready to answer reinmar's question and began preparing a demo of my own to share. Going through this process, I figured it out my bug.

I was using jQuery UI sortable in the application as well, and had a superfluous disableSelection() floating around it. Getting rid of made the editor happy again.

Thanks again!
