    Can't change font color of text in Internet Explorer...

    Hi -
     
    We are having a strange problem in Internet Explorer (IE8) and I have been able to duplicate the issue using the demo on your site.  When I highlight content and try to change the font color, sometime it isn't the selected content that changes color but content to the left of it.  (Sometimes immediately to the left and sometimes 10-15 characters away. )  There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.
     
     I am including the HTML we are using below... It is an HTML email.
     
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
     
    Thanks!

    Re: Can't change font color of text in Internet Explorer...

    Hi!
     
    I just noticed something else that may help you solve this issue... If I click the "Left Justify" button, I lose all of the formatting... (ie. font changes, font size changes), BUT I can select the link colour!
     
    Hope that helps!  Looking forward to solving this issue so we can use IE!
     
    Thanks!

    Re: Can't change font color of text in Internet Explorer...

    Dear Ilana,
     
    I follow the following steps and cannot reproduce this issue:
    2. Switch to "HTML" and remove all content
    3. Switch back to "Normal"
    4. Input "test" in edit area
    5. Click button "Font color" and "Hightlight" to set its format
    6. Click button "Left Justify"
     
    Those format will not be lost.
     
    Regards,
    Eric

    Re: Can't change font color of text in Internet Explorer...

     
    Thanks for your response....
     
    I followed your steps above (without the click button Left Justify - not relevant for this) and I have checked it out on two other computers in addition to my own... and it definitely happens for me.
     
    Have you tried changing the font colour throughout the email?  I don't have problems changing the font colour of the first sentence - "Check out our latest Newsletter and some of the great events happening at this summer!", nor the titles themselves.  But as soon as I try changing the font colour  of "Lorem ipsum dolor" of under the Item 1 Title or 2 or 3, the problems start.
     
    I am using IE 8  version 8.0.76 in case that helps...
     
    Thanks for your help!
