I am also having trouble with this in IE.

Applying this suggested fix does not work.

If the body is defined as having color:white and background-color:white (using either CSS or HTML "text" & "bgcolor" attributes), then the HTML view appears as a blank page (white text on white background). Whilst I am aware that this is caused by poor markup in the original document, this is a real problem when editing existing markup not created in Cute Editor.

This problem is not manifest in Firefox [but firefox exposes another set of bugs].
