I am using standard Twitter-Bootstrap code for nav-tabs – http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#tabs
All functionality works but in IE9 and IE8 and IE7 browser modes I cannot select and copy any of the text content within the active panel. I can in Opera, Chrome etc.
Text outside the panel can be copied in IE.
I am using webfonts but these can be copied outside the active panel.
Cannot post link as its on locked down dev server. Tested the same on different machines
I had exactly the same issue yesterday.
Eventually found a CSS rule for .tab-content {display:table;} was causing the issue.
I added my own CSS rule to override this, setting .tab-content{display:block;} and this fixed the issue.
I don’t know why display:table would do this, but that’s how I fixed it…
