A workaround for this in IE8 / IE9 is to switch the browser to
compatibility mode - but that needs to be done at user end on every
machine so doesn't resolve the issue.

Title:
  Difficulty Posting using MSIE9

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  ABSTRACT:

  During posting to Developer's forum at Mahara.org using MSIE9, the
  editor plugin would not allow writing into the fields.

  MAHARA VERSION:

  Assumed 1.4

  BROWSER VERSON:

  -MSIE9

  DESCRIPTION:

  It appears that it may be due to AJAX/HTML 5. The same issues are
  present in the latest WP version where the browser (MSIE7) would not
  correctly render the editor. In this case, when attempting to post the
  cursor would enter the textarea. As a workaround, I attempted to use
  the "paste from word" options. The effect is the same here as in WP,
  if it does post then it will enter the text in the editor otherwise
  the text simply disappears or never renders.

  Additionally in trying to get the teh text editor to render the text
  into the textarea, multiple reloads or trying to click in the textarea
  seemed to work.
