CSS display: flex; not working properly in IE browser

I'm using Jquery draggable component to add an element to <p>.

I have following issue

IE browser showing bad look(see the image) It shows all-scroll instead of Pointer

enter image description here

this happens because of this CSS

p.given {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}

this CSS I used to display the <p> content properly. If I remove that CSS, draggable component adding multiple places to sometimes. and also <p> contents going to the next lines after drop components. Can you suggest anything instead of flex? I can't remove this CSS (p.given { display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; }), because if I remove that <p> content not flexible properly, So please give me a solution to avoid this IE browser issue.

$(function() {
  function textWrapper(str, sp, btn) {
    if (sp == undefined) {
      sp = [0, 0];
    }
    var txt = "";
    if (btn) {
      txt = "<span class='w b'>" + str + "</span>";
    } else {
      txt = "<span class='w'>" + str + "</span>";
    }

    if (sp[0]) {
      txt = "&nbsp;" + txt;
    }

    if (sp[1]) {
      txt = txt + "&nbsp;";
    }

    return txt;
  }

  function chunkWords(p) {
    var words = p.split(" ");
    words[0] = textWrapper(words[0], [0, 1]);

Firstly, why support IE? It's a very old browser that has many issues particularly in development. I also noticed that you use jQuery 1.12.4 and jQueryUI 1.12.1. Again, they are old versions that makes your code slow and possibly insecure.

As for the solution, the problem lies in contentEditable option. Once removed the cursor appears normal on IE11.

I never thought I would say this but: I tested on IE11 and it worked normally

Here is the new code:

based on the comment I added a new function that checks if use clicked on p element then sets contenteditable to true, otherwise it will set it to false. This is less than ideal on IE but I think this is the most you can get out of that browser.

$(function() {
  function textWrapper(str, sp, btn) {
    if (sp == undefined) {
      sp = [0, 0];
    }
    var txt = "";
    if (btn) {
      txt = "<span class='w b'>" + str + "</span>";
    } else {
      txt = "<span class='w'>" + str + "</span>";
    }

    if (sp[0]) {
      txt = "&nbsp;" + txt;
    }

    if (sp[1]) {
      txt = txt + "&nbsp;";
    }

    return txt;
  }

  function chunkWords(p) {
    var words = p.split(" ");
    words[0] = textWrapper(words[0], [0, 1]);
    var i;
    for (i = 1; i < words.length; i++) {
      var re = /\[.+\]/;
      if (re.test(words[i])) {
        var b = makeTextBox(words[i].slice(1, -1));
        words[i] = "&nbsp;" + b.prop("outerHTML") + "&nbsp;";
      } else {
        if (words[0].indexOf(".")) {
          words[i] = textWrapper(words[i], [1, 0]);
        } else {
          words[i] = textWrapper(words[i], [1, 1]);
        }
      }
    }
    return words.join("");
  }

  function unChunkWords(tObj) {
    var words = [];
    $(".w", tObj).each(function(i, el) {
      console.log($(el).text(), $(el).attr("class"));
      if ($(el).hasClass("b")) {
        words.push("[" + $(el).text().trim() + "]");
      } else {
        words.push($(el).text().trim());
      }
    });
    return words.join(" ");
  }

  function makeBtn(tObj) {
    var btn = $("<span>", {
      class: "ui-icon ui-icon-close"
    }).appendTo(tObj);
  }

  function makeTextBox(txt) {
    var sp = $("<span>", {
      class: "w b"
    }).html(txt);
    makeBtn(sp);
    return sp;
  }

    return obj.droppable({
      drop: function(e, ui) {
        var txt = ui.draggable.text();
        var newSpan = textWrapper(txt, [1, 0], 1);
        $(this).after(newSpan);
        makeBtn($(this).next("span.w"));
        makeDropText($(this).next("span.w"));
        $("span.w.ui-state-highlight").removeClass("ui-state-highlight");
      },
      over: function(e, ui) {
        $(this).add($(this).next("span.w")).addClass("ui-state-highlight");
      },
      out: function() {

  /**

   * accordingly.
   */
  $(document).on("click", function(e) {
    let pElement = jQuery(e.target).closest("p.given");
    let check = !$(event.target).is("p.given") && !$(event.target).parents("p.given").is("p.given");

I just inspected the DOM and found the selectors that best suited the desired result.

Here are the classes for manipulating the cursor.

.w.b.ui-droppable {
  cursor: pointer; /* The dropped text */
}

.given.btn-flat.ui-draggable {
  cursor: -webkit-grab; cursor: grab; /* Text to be dropped */
}

.given.btn-flat.ui-draggable-dragging {
  cursor: -webkit-grabbing; cursor: grabbing; /* Text being dragged */
}

If you need more help with styling cursors, you can check out the documentation:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/cursor

Example

Not sure about your custom class names e.g. given btn-flat white-text red lighten-1, but I did not need them in this case.

$(function() {
  function textWrapper(str, sp, btn) {
    if (sp == undefined) {
      sp = [0, 0];
    }
    var txt = "";
    if (btn) {
      txt = "<span class='w b'>" + str + "</span>";
    } else {
      txt = "<span class='w'>" + str + "</span>";
    }
    if (sp[0]) {
      txt = "&nbsp;" + txt;
    }
    if (sp[1]) {
      txt = txt + "&nbsp;";
    }
    return txt;
  }

  function chunkWords(p) {
    var words = p.split(" ");
    words[0] = textWrapper(words[0], [0, 1]);
    var i;
    for (i = 1; i < words.length; i++) {
      var re = /\[.+\]/;
      if (re.test(words[i])) {
        var b = makeTextBox(words[i].slice(1, -1));
        words[i] = "&nbsp;" + b.prop("outerHTML") + "&nbsp;";
      } else {
        if (words[0].indexOf(".")) {
          words[i] = textWrapper(words[i], [1, 0]);
        } else {
          words[i] = textWrapper(words[i], [1, 1]);
        }
      }
    }
    return words.join("");
  }

  function unChunkWords(tObj) {
    var words = [];
    $(".w", tObj).each(function(i, el) {
      //console.log($(el).text(), $(el).attr("class"));
      if ($(el).hasClass("b")) {
        words.push("[" + $(el).text().trim() + "]");
      } else {
        words.push($(el).text().trim());
      }
    });
    return words.join(" ");
  }

        var newSpan = textWrapper(txt, [1, 0], 1);
        $(this).after(newSpan);
        makeBtn($(this).next("span.w"));
        makeDropText($(this).next("span.w"));
        $("span.w.ui-state-highlight").removeClass("ui-state-highlight");
      },
