A couple of times now, when I attempt to edit a response, IE 11 (clean 8.1 install) will freeze and give me a message the site is not responding because of a "Long running script". It does give me the option to stop the script, which may or may not have any effect.

Anyone else seeing this, I don't remember it happening in Firefox.

Not on my Win 8.1 Pro.

Perhaps, clear IE cache or even Reset IE is in order?

OK, I will try that, thanks. It would seem since this install is only a week old, such actions would not be necessary. Especially if I have only seen it on this site. It will take some time for any changes to prove useful or not.
