WYSIWYG doesn't work properly in IE7

The WYSIWYG editor shows unstable behaviour with Internet Explorer 7. In particular there are problems with changing font colurs.

The following screenshot illustrates the issue:

Font colour problem in the WYSIWYG editor.

A planned major upgrade to MySource that will address this issue but in the meantime users should consider downgrading to an earlier version of IE.

You should be aware that downgrading to an earlier version of IE may have security and operational implications and that the installation of an alternative compatible browser is a good option. Many networks run policies that wil reinstall IE7 the next time a networked system was restarted.
