When you start editing a tiddler, the TWCore first renders the tiddler 
editor forms inputs, and then sets the focus to the main tiddler body input 
area and selects the current tiddler content.  This seems to work fine for 
most browsers and platforms.  However, as you noted, when using a TWC file 
as an HTA, the selection goes all "wonky".

I am able to reproduce the problem here on my system (note, step 2 in your 
report should say "Change the extension to HTA", rather than "TWC"). 
 Unfortunately, trying to debug this problem in IE9 is very difficult (if 
not practically impossible) and time-consuming.  Fortunately, this problem 
is essentially cosmetic, since it doesn't cause a crash or loss/corruption 
of data.... and there are *two* reasonably quick work-arounds:

1) after invoking edit, ignore the errant selection and just click in the 
tiddler body input field to clear the selection and begin editing.
or
2) assign a random text value to <<option txtEditorFocus>>, which normally 
has a default value of 'text', which indicates that initial focus (and 
selection) should be applied to the main tiddler body input area.  Changing 
the txtEditorFocus option to some random characters (i.e., *not* a valid 
field name) will prevent the input selection/focus from being set when 
starting to edit a tiddler, thus avoiding the errant selection handling 
entirely.
