Can anyone help with debugging convoluted IE DOM issues?.

I'm trying to work out what's going on with
http://bugzilla.qooxdoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622

The outer border of menu items and popup windows is missing in IE7 when
the DIV first appears. Once it has been drawn once, hidden, and shown
again it appears. For a context menu that is just shown once, the border
is only shown if the menu is moved onto the displayable area (ie. click
near the edge of the window - the menu appears overlapping the edge and
is forced into view, with the border).

I installed the IE7 developer toolbar and was able to see the generated
HTML and CSS for a page. I extracted the code for the menu div, and
created a little test app that added that div to the document when a link
was clicked. The menu appears - with the border. Drat.

Any suggestions on what to do next?

I suppose I could work forwards through the various releases trying the
skeleton apps and see when it starts failing, but I don't really have
time to do that.

A workaround is to change the border in the _afterAppear method of the
menu object. But that only works if the colour is different so it's a
little clumsy. And to work properly it would have to be done for all
popup items.
