DebugBar forums / Selecting text inside DIVs using IE6

There's some problem to select text that is inside a <div> when using the IE6 emulation of IETester 0.2
You can test on my own site: http://ri.cardo.nom.br/
If you try to select something in the "Webdesigner Blog" column, for example, it'll select all the text of the column starting from your selection.

Far from that, I have a not enough tested suspect that IE6 and IE5.5 are failing to render "filter:" CSS properties (still on my site, see if you have the title image correctly displayed).

Hi Ricardo,

About the selection problem, it looks like it is not a IETester bug, but an IE6 bug ! I tested on a virtual machine on XP SP2 with IE6 installed, and I can't select text as well.
So IETester IE6 tab behaviour is correct (that is same as real IE6 behaviour).

About the "filter", I know this bug. IETester is not handling correctly filters as well as transparencies for images. I will work on that on the future versions.
