Description Christopher Yeleighton 2008-10-07 20:47:15 UTC 
The following declaration in printCommon.css damages the display of subscripts in Microsoft Internet Explorer (7):

p, .documentDescription {
    margin: 1em 0 ! important;
    line-height: 1.2em;
}

The subscripts get partially covered by the following line, the lower part disappears on selecting text.

The workaround is to specify

P { LINE-HEIGHT: AUTO }

somewhere afterwards.

On en.wp we are now experimenting with some CSS added trough js, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3ACommon.js&diff=289159257&oldid=284132757

Specifically targeted for IE.

Christopher: Looks like this does not exist anymore? 

At least I cannot find "documentDescription" or "printCommon.css" anywhere in the MediaWiki codebase.
Comment 3 Andre Klapper 2013-03-14 17:17:51 UTC 
I stand corrected. core/skins/common/commonPrint.css still exists, with this line:

p {
	margin: 1em 0;
	line-height: 1.2em;
}
Comment 4 Christopher Yeleighton 2013-04-01 19:47:39 UTC 
I do not know about v7 but the subscripts look all right in v8.  Effective line-height is 1.5em.
