Source Mode then Edit Mode becomes read only

I am using:
2.0 RC2
IE 6 SP2

I've ran into this on both my IIS and Apache servers. If I click on source mode, then click on edit mode, I can no longer get an insert point with which to edit the text. I can highlight existing text and use the table, style, format, font, size, font color and background options. But I can't insert new text (unless I switch back to source mode).

I am using the ReplaceTextarea() approach.

The demo version at FCKEditor works correctly with my browser.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I discovered that if the text area already has content in it that I don't have this problem. It seems to only happen when I run the ReplaceTextarea() on an empty textarea.

I also see someone else has the same problem and disabling XHTML in the configuration files is a workaround. Trying that next...

Same problem here.
Too in RepaceTextarea().

Disabling XHTML doesn't correct this problem for me.

However if I make sure the text area has some value (even a  ) before the ReplaceTextArea() is called it works fine.
