When I try to create a link by highlighting text and selecting link icon it does not show up as linked when using ie11 browser.

I have tried this across multiple cms installs...

Hi,

The IE 11 issues just introduced with the WYSIWYG editor are new to me and no update has been created to deal with it yet.

I was reading an article about IE 11 here:
http://www.sitepoint.com/internet-explorer-11-review/

This may be the cause of the issues:

Unfortunately, problems have been reported with several Google products and even Outlook web access because they look for “MSIE” in the user agent string. IE11′s user agent is:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko

There’s no sign of “MSIE” and it’s not surprising Microsoft removed it. Some sites detect the string to make IE to show a degraded layout or switch to legacy APIs

It is very possible the WYSIWYG editor is not working correctly because Microsoft changed the browser user agent string and now the WYSIWYG editor can't match it to an agent string.

I will discuss with Dave and post a follow-up.

Cheers,
