CSS Standards Compliance in Internet Explorer 7 - Common Bugs Fixed in IE 7 (Page 2 of 4 ) - Peekaboo bug - This bug occurs when a liquid box has a float inside, and content appears alongside that float. In Internet Explorer, the box with all its content sometimes just disappears, which then reappears upon scrolling or switching windows.
- Guillotine bug – This is a bug that chops off the bottom part of floated elements when certain links are hovered over, or causes content in a floated element to be chopped off at the bottom.
- Duplicate Character bug - This bug involves multiple floated elements; text characters from the last of the floated elements are sometimes duplicated below the last float.
- Border Chaos – This bug draws parts of the surrounding borders all over the place, even eliminating bits here and there when negative margins for consecutive flowed boxes are used.
- No Scroll bug – IE may not force a scrollbar even if the content is long enough to require one, resulting in hidden content.
- 3 Pixel Text Jog – IE applies a 3px space on text next to a floated element, but corrects itself once a floated element is ended.
- Magic Creeping Text bug – This bug is triggered by nesting one block element inside another, and giving the following styles to the outer element. When triggered, the bug pushes the text in the inner element, but not the element itself, to the left an amount equal to twice the width of the left border.
