  There was a topic already, its now “closed” but “not resolved”
  The problem is still there, at least i experience the following:
  Using WP Version 2.3.2 om Windows XP Home, IE 7 (javascript enabled)
  Environment is apachefriend XAMPP, no proxy for local internet
  The Problem:
  I drag a text widget to my sidebar and klick on the options icon (BTW: First time I click on the options icon of any widget – nothing happens, the page just flickers like a very fast page reload). So I click (again) on the options icon of my text widget an type some text in.
  From this point i cannot: select text (or, in other words, highlight text), not by mouse, not by shift+arrow key, not by ctrl+a or ctrl+pos1 or the like.
  Since theres no selected text, i cannot copy, cut or delete text accept one character backwards. The context menu entries cut and copy are disabled/ greyed. The context menu entry “select all” is enabled, but wouldnt work at all (as with ctrl+a).
  This applies to the title input field as well as the text textarea field.
  What I can: I can put the cursor into either field and type text including backspace or delete. I can paste text into the cursor position. Using firefox everything is fine.

  Is there any solution accept BrowseHappy?
  I’m developing a blog for a customer, can’t tell him to switch to firefox.
  I know there are some people out there having the problem since as far back as september 2007, not solution yet?
  Please help me. Thank you.

  You need to be asking over at WordPress.org, as our whole situation here is different at WP.com:
