I was whipping up a tutorial on Android and Windows 8 today, when @LA asked me to test the Custom HTML/Text screen on that OS. I did, and found that using either default browser...the weird one that pops up when you hit the icon in the weird UI, or the normal IE that comes up when you launch it from the Desktop, I wasn't even able to edit any of the text in the edit pane of that screen. In fact, the default text that should come up in that edit box doesn't show...just a grayish background. Now, I was running Windows 8 in a VM, but it's hard to see why that would be the problem, unless I was having screen draw issues or something. Anybody out there running Windows 8 who can test that screen before I pass it along to David? Thanks! Mark Title Comments Good Evening!

Wondering if its a win 8 firewall issue or browser issue? I'll have to look more. Comments Tested it on my windows 8 test machine, same as your results.

If you have any other browsers installed on your computer, trying those would give us another data point. Comments Cool.
