Zoom Bug in IE7

October 25, 2006 at 12:29 pm · Filed under Miscellaneous

Last week I wrote in Bug in IE7? that I thought there was a problem viewing this site:

In Firefox and IE6, my horizontal list (menu) works correctly. The picture below shows the “Link Blog” item highlighted and mouse-over.

In IE7, all of the text is crowded together, but the mouse-over regions are in the correct place. Again, the picture below shows in the “Link Blog” item highlighted. Noticed that the highlight is in the same place, but the text is all crowded to the left.

This alone looks like a bug. I don’t see how the text and the highlight can be in two different locations.

It turns out that this is related to the zoom feature.  This site looks fine if zoom isn’t used (i.e., at 100%).  More or less zoom crowds just the text, but not the mouse-overs.

Must be a bug.

Bug in IE7?

Before I report this as a bug, I thought I’d write it up and see if any CSS gurus can help me.

In Firefox and IE6, my horizontal list (menu) works correctly. The picture below shows the “Link Blog” item highlighted and mouse-over.

In IE7, all of the text is crowded together, but the mouse-over regions are in the correct place. Again, the picture below shows in the “Link Blog” item highlighted. Noticed that the highlight is in the same place, but the text is all crowded to the left.

This alone looks like a bug. I don’t see how the text and the highlight can be in two different locations.

I have run this through the CSS Validator (here) and the XHTML Validator (here) and sounds nothing I can pin this on. (Note the XHTML Validator reports several errors having to do with individual posts).

So, is this a problem in my site or a bug in IE7?
