Logged in users see the personal links at the top - My talk, My preferences, My watchlist (id="p-personal") - vertically rather than horizontally. Some links are also non-clickable, because they appear behind the search box. I tested this with a new account on he.wikipedia, ar.wikipedia, fa.wikipedia and mzn.wikipedia, and it happened everywhere, so it's probably not caused by a local customization. This happens only in Vector; Monobook is OK. And this happens only in Internet Explorer 9; IE8, Firefox, Opera and Chrome are OK.
Created attachment 8380 [details] a screenshot showing wrong rendering of p-personal links in IE9 Attached a screenshot from http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ie9-whbwiki.png .
Strangely if you remove dir="rtl" from the <html> tag or change it to "ltr" it fixes this problem, and the rest of the page still looks the same (right to left). Might be a bug with IE9's rtl handling.
Also, changing... #p-personal { padding-left: 10em; } ...to... #p-personal { margin-left: 10em; } seems to fix the problem with no adverse effects.
although the fix in Comment 3 breaks it in IE6 :(
(In reply to comment #4) > although the fix in Comment 3 breaks it in IE6 :( We can use a CSS hack to hide it from IE6 /* OVERRIDDEN IN IE6 */ #p-personal { margin-left: 10em; } /* APPLIED IN IE6 ONLY */ * html #p-personal { margin-left: 0; padding-left: 10em; } This hack in particular exploits IE 6 and below considering the window to be a parent of HTML, whereas everyone else knows that's just silly and ignores the rule.
Looks like moving the padding from #p-personal to the ul inside #p-personal fixes it (without any hacks even!). Fixed in r86450.
