Yes, I do use IE7. It's my main browser both at home and at work.

No, I don't work on IE. If I have sufficient information for a bug, I'll engage the right people. And no, "IE sucks" is not sufficient. :)

Anyway, some screenshots:

Have you tried firefox3? It has this awesome new address bar, that also serves as a search into your history and bookmarks. It makes me feel like an AOL user :\.

A quick glance suggests that it has something to do with the new css style that we're using... the main content is now in a div block of it's own, whereas before it was just text in the html body.

In particular, here are the three main blocks. (The information block only appears on the front page). Try to play with a simple html page with just these three div class="information", etc elements.

/* from default.css, stripped for brevity */
.information
{
float: left;
width: 20%;
overflow: hidden;
}

.content
{
float: left;
width: 52%;
overflow: hidden;
}

.menus
{
float: right;
width: 20%;
overflow: hidden;
}

No. It appears to be a problem with the ".story .body" or ".story" css rules. maybe the clear or width rule.

%SITEURI%/default.css

Almost fixed. Now only some of the "Reply | Edit | Parent" blocks have that problem.

Screenshot

It seems to show up under stories in the main page, stories when you view comments, and the first comment in a thread when you click on a comment parent.

Oh, and footers are messed up in the same way too, but only on the main page and wiki pages, and not on the comment pages.

While we're filing bugs, comments seem to be cut off on the right hand side. It's most evident when viewing deep comment threads.
