Thanks for you effort to help.
But it did not work out for me.

However, I got a solution by giving a fixed width (in px) to the parent div of problematic (those moving with resize) elements.

BEWARE: this fix may have side affects to existing sites! My site wasn’t able to show thickbox popups any more in IE6, after I had added position:relative to the body element. So it is’t the solution for me… :(

I can not believe it. Your post is three years old and the bug is still not fixed. I got the very same problem. Thank you for the solution!

Thanks very much for posting this — so simple to fix, but so very frustrating if you don’t know how! I can’t understand how an operation the size of Microsoft can still put out a product that fails to meet basic standards. mindblowing. Cheers!
