David - I ran into the same issue and delved into the cke editor link you posted above. In one of the comments I found the following solution, which seems to fix things when added as an inline javascript resource:
skuid.$.widget( "ui.dialog", skuid.$.ui.dialog, {<br /><br /> /*! jQuery UI - v1.11.4 - 2015-06-05<br /><br /> * <a href="http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/9087#comment:27" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Link http//bugsjqueryuicom/ticket/9087comment27">http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/9087#comment:27</a> - bugfix<br /><br /> * <a href="http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/4727#comment:23" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Link http//bugsjqueryuicom/ticket/4727comment23">http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/4727#comment:23</a> - bugfix<br /><br /> * allowInteraction fix to accommodate windowed editors<br /><br /> */<br /><br /> _allowInteraction: function( event ) {<br /><br /> if ( this._super( event ) ) {<br /><br /> return true;<br /><br /> }<br /><br /><br /> // address interaction issues with general iframes with the dialog<br /><br /> if ( event.target.ownerDocument != this.document[ 0 ] ) {<br /><br /> return true;<br /><br /> }<br /><br /><br /> // address interaction issues with dialog window<br /><br /> if ( skuid.$( event.target ).closest( ".cke_dialog" ).length ) {<br /><br /> return true;<br /><br /> }<br /><br /><br /> // address interaction issues with iframe based drop downs in IE<br /><br /> if ( skuid.$( event.target ).closest( ".cke" ).length ) {<br /><br /> return true;<br /><br /> }<br /><br /> }<br /><br />});
