IE
If you're using Microsoft Internet Explorer with an unusual screen resolution or shape you might have noticed the strange layout problem SE has been having recently. Well, yeah, I've tried almost everything.
Basically, I've been coming up against two seperate bugs in IEs rendering of 'floats' - a certain type of object in the CSS box model. It's important to note that these are actually bugs in IE - they're not just a lack of support for web-standards - instead, they're where the IE team really fucked up. No two ways about it.
If you're interested in the specifics, they're called the Peekaboo and Guillotine bugs, both of which have been causing me grief. I'm off to look for snow this weekend, so it doesn't look like it'll be fixed anytime soon. See you all Monday.
Edit: By the way: if you've got an MSDN subscription you can go get the beta of the upcoming IE7 - it's got much better standards support so I'll be very interested in how it renders SE. If you're not subscribed there's always the BT
