Terrible Problems Cutting And Pasting Into Blogger On IE8 And IE9

This is very frustrating, as it significantly diminishes both the utility of the package and the pleasure one derives from using it.

I also find that I now can't paste a post's URL on to the 'Link' bar, and that to publish a post I have to save it, go into 'Edit Posts', select the item and post from there. The 'Publish Post' button is about as useful as a padlock in Clapham Junction.

Sory to seem a bit pissed off about this, but I've just come within a hair's breadth of losing a 1,600 word post it's taken me two hours to write.

Any suggestions?
