This forum's "New Question" is broken when using it with IE9...

Question
-
Folks, are you aware, that this forum can't reasonably be used with IE9?
I am writing this using Google Chrome (v21), because with IE9 this forum shows an odd bug: while I can enter text into the Body area, clicking into the Title field of the "Start a new Question or Discussion" page shows no reaction and no cursor or focus is assigned to it. With Tab one can reach that field and assign the focus, but one first has to skip 10 or so other items and that's tedious...
I find that a bit ironic - an MS forum that only works properly with a non-MS browser...

They are looking for a repro case for this. No previous indication that IE9 was a factor. There is a more effective workaround than the one you found...http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/uk/reportabug/thread/d99c70d2-7c78-47a8-b03b-db30fd59f9e8http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/uk/reportabug/thread/d99c70d2-7c78-47a8-b03b-db30fd59f9e8

Hi !
I have verified this with IE 9, FireFox 14.0.1 & Google Chrome 21.0, whenever you press "Ask a Question" inside any Forum Sub-Category it will take you to the question body on next page. I think this is by design as people may write the question and then decide a better question Title to reflect their question.
The behavior seems to be similar in all the Browsers and i have verified with different Forum Sub-Categories as well.
Please let me know if this helps. Hopefully i have answered you correctly.
