Observed behavior in 1024*768 on crossbrowsertesting.com

Bugzilla is unusable on Windows XP with IE8. Found this when I was going to look into bug 45958.
Comment 1 Siebrand Mazeland 2013-05-10 07:57:11 UTC 
Tested some more. Also broken in Vista/IE8. Works in Windows 7/IE8.
Comment 2 Andre Klapper 2013-05-10 11:45:53 UTC 
I don't get the same results.

Testing with https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org on http://browserstack.com/ , all with 800x600px:

Windows XP, IE6:  looks utterly wrong, and I won't fix it
Windows XP, IE7:  looks wrong, like on your screenshot
Windows XP, IE8:  looks correct
Windows  7, IE8:  looks correct
Windows  7, IE10: looks correct

At home (I'm travelling right now) I've got one physical Windows XP SP3 machine with IE8 and I'm extremely sure that bugzilla.wikimedia.org is shown correctly on that one.

> I don't get the same results.

Apparently. Amir said the same thing about bug 45958. Gives me a confused feeling, as I'm pretty certain that I observed it, and in the reported configuration, and was displayed as soon as I connected to the crossbrowsertesting.com VMs.

Given the comment 2 test results, and Amir's observations, I almost suspect that crossbrowsertesting.com's VMs are running IE8 in IE7 mode or something. This would be pretty annoying, as it could misrepresent issues. I cannot spend more time on this right now unfortunately. Andre, let me know if you need crossbrowsertesting.com access. We have a Wikimedia Foundation account.

Back home, having access to more machines: Running IE 8.0.6001.18702 on Microsoft Windows XP SP3 (no virtual machine) I cannot reproduce.

After enabling "Tools > Compatibility mode" I CAN reproduce the problem.
