  Updated. Initially the report only mentioned the lack of text selection in the Inline Edit field; however, this actually occurs for all text in the portlets.

  Below is a code snippet from reorderer.js It seems that we were intentionally preventing text selection in IE. I have removed this code and it doesn't appear that FLUID-143 has come back. This is likely due to the rewrite of the reorderer that occurred after this bug was initially filed.

  // FLUID-143. Disable text selection for the reorderer.
  // ondrag() and onselectstart() are Internet Explorer specific functions.
  // Override them so that drag+drop actions don't also select text in IE.
  if ($.browser.msie) {
  container[0].ondrag = function () {
  return false;
  };
  container[0].onselectstart = function () {
  return false;
  };
  }
