While following links from Slashdot re the Vista network issue I just
posted about, I found a page where it was hard to select text in order to
copy a wanted sentence.

BTW the following link is quite interesting for those using Vista -
apparently there is a diagnostics tool that allows you to disable window
scaling without the command prompt netsh stuff.

It's also interesting that the way to run the tool is to click a
"res://" link in the web page!

rver

Para 3 of the article starts "If you try to diagnosis this problem...".

What is that prevents me from selecting text in para 3, prior to a copy? Is
it simply a bug in my IE6, or has the web site done some tricky formatting
to exploit an issue in IE6 that prevents it from doing a copy?

My IE6 browser has scripting off. This site is in my Internet zone. I've
noticed this on a few sites. It's not a problem - I know I can View Source
to get the text. I'm just curious.

I see that Firefox does not have the issue in the two IE6 browsers I've tried.
