I'm a etherpad user, not a programmer nor a linux user. I made more tests though on two differents etherpad instances (besides ours and beta) and they all behave the same way with IE 9. So, as a good opensource software user, I report the problem.\r\n\r\nAs for sending you a machine to test IE9, may I suggest you try a virtual machine (VM)? Take a look at https://www.modern.ie/en-us/virtualization-tools#downloads , you'll have what you need to test Etherpad on IE 9.\r\n\r\nMy actual users are from different school districts in Canada, and I unfortunately have more than 35% requests coming from IE browser! It is really out of my control, I have to work with this reality. And I would very much like my teachers and students to use etherpad.\r\n\r\nAgain, thanks for your understanding and your help."}}
