Created attachment 182031 [details] UOMo in IE8 While Chrome or Firefox display the main UOMo page properly, IE8 has problems with the CSS.
Created attachment 182032 [details] Sphinx in IE8
See attached images. I compared to at least 2 projects created around the same time, and while both Sphinx and Sapphire render the bullet points correctly they both share a weird red "ribbon" in this part of the page in IE8.
Thanks to a colleague we found, IE's compatibility view is the cause. Without that all 3 pages look OK. If there was a way in the page/PHP code to influence IE heuristics not to use compatibility view, that may be worth exploring. Also most new IE versions like 8 have an option to update domains for automatic usage of the compatibility view from Microsoft. Could anybody ensure, MS doesn't have eclipse.org on that list?
Seems like a dupe of bug 329217. Please undupe if I got this wrong. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 329217 ***
It isn't a duplicate, this is related to old browsers like IE6 and Compatibility View in newer (IE) versions. 329217 is related to horizontal width of some CSS styles and unlike this bug (can remain closed) still affects major projects, most notable EGit !;-)

Looking at this file > http://www.eclipse.org/egit/style2.css #bigbuttons does not have a width set to 560px; Thus creates a horizontal scrollbar. This affects all browsers, not just IE. BTW that file also sets the #bigbuttons ul li to red, why?
