Hi,

All sites which are still in English appear to break in IE6 - the top of the upper text bubble is detached from the rest of the bubble (see screenshot).

I can only reproduce this if I have my text size set to largest - patrick, is that the case with your setup?

Comment 2

Text size is medium - this is IE6 out of the box (never used before this test!).

IE version 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.091208-2028

The box is fine in text sizes "small" and "smallest", but "medium" and greater breaks it.

Am not sure of the level on integration on Windows XP, but the screen resoluton is 1680 by 1050 and Display Properties Font size: Normal.

This is a pretty fresh instal of an OEM version Windows XP SP2, only a couple of weeks old and I have not adjusted many (any?) settings.

I increased the height of that image, which seems to fix it for me locally - Patrick, can you verify? I don't know if we're auto-updating production, but staging should at least show the fix in about 10-15 minutes.

FWIW, I can reproduce as well, if I set my font size to "largest," but it doesn't seem to be a screen-resolution thing (at least not in my VM -- but I don't know how the settings in a VM really affect layout; not sure they can always be trusted?)

Thanks, Neil; hopefully Patrick can verify this since I'm having trouble reproducing.

Fixed on stage - works in all font sizes.

Verified FIXED; thanks, Patrick.  I also tested by setting my font size to "Largest," and could no longer reproduce.
