Comment:

 I was able to narrow this down to `autoResizeTextarea()` watching for
 `onpropertychange` to fire (along with `focus` and `input`). Having that
 in there consistently crashes IE8 on XP in my testing.

 Two options are to either remove the call to `autoResizeTextarea()` inside
 `quickPressLoad()`, or to remove `propertychange` from the `jQuery.on()`
 call, which is what I opted to do here.

 This change allows me to successfully create a Quick Draft in IE8 without
 any crashes, and this function is only used one time in this instance.
