IE8 and Lotus Connections Rich-Text-Editor

In two seperate Lotus Connections environments each where the customer is using HTTPS we’ve seen an issue where the Rich-Text-Editor does not load for people when using IE8, instead you get “Navigation to the webpage was canceled”

This issue does not occur in FireFox, Google Chrome, IE6 or IE7 (and IE8 when using just HTTP).

Now I know IE8 is not a supported browser but it’s out there and this had the potential to start becoming a real problem for customers. The good news is that installing Fix Pack 2 resolves the issue.
