This is a limitation of IE9 due to a new way that IE draws text to the screen.

Quite often while running IE9 I am not able to route the mouse pointer to the cursor. Maximizing the window doesn't change this behaviour.
 
An example of this is when downloading something from www.download.com. After finding the program and activating the download link a page will come up that says something like your download will begin in a few moments. If it doesn't click here.
 
On an XP Pro running IE8 PC I can switch off browse mode and route the pointer to the cursor. Then get to the click here text and use the left mouse button hot key. Works quite nicely.
 
On Windows 7 64 bit running IE9 it will just bling when I switch off browse mode and try to route the mouse pointer to the cursor.
 
Once I have made sure the window is maximized, I cannot find any text on the page. Even after pressing the read window hot key, control+shift+W, what is read are the tool bars for IE9 and not much else.
