These are the steps I have performed with each browser.
==========================================

1) Got to http://docs.getlazarus.org/
2) Write 'TPersist' and select from the dropdown list
3) Click 'Overview', 'Classes', 'Types' etc. on the orange bar at the top.

Here is what happens with each browser
==========================================

-- Chromium 16.0.877.0 (Developer Build 100581 Windows)
1) Works
2) Shows nothing below the line with text "Base class for streaming 
system and persistent properties."
3) None of these are available for click. All grayed/disabled.

-- IE 11 11.0.25
1) Works
2) Works.
3) Shows blank page (except for 'Search' bar at the top) so test wasn't 
performed.

If I type something in the text input and pressed Enter (without 
selecting an item from the suggested list), I'd --of course-- expect it 
to not update the text input with anything.

But, if I have selected an item from the list, I'd expect it to update 
the text item.

Obviously, this is not a deal breaker, but it is, IME, industry practice.
