Jumping editor in IE

Hi,

I look after a blog for my organisation and I think I’ve discovered what may be a bug.

The main issue is that using any version of IE clicking on the padding of the text editor will make the editor jump to the top, which is especially an issue when working on long posts.

Our particular setup is especially prone to this as we have restricted the max-width of #tinymce to 640px for easier editability. However I can replicate this in clean wordpress installs, even wordpress.com using multiple machines and IE versions up to 11.

Would someone be able to try reproduce and validate this? I can then add it as a bug.

1. Using any version of IE on a clean install of wordpress
2. Create a new long post
3. Get out of the post
4. Get back into the post
5. Scroll down and click on the very margins of the text, near the edge of the editor. Either side should make you jump back to the start of the article.

The exagerated approach would be to add a new stylesheet to the editor using something like

function add_editor_styles() {
add_editor_style( ‘editor.css’ );
}
add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘add_editor_styles’ );

and adding an editor.css file to the active theme directory containing

html .mceContentBody {
max-width:640px;
}

Click around the whitespace to the right of the editor to invoke a jump to the top.
