It is annoying, but not a bug. "The tiling and positioning of the background-image on inline elements is undefined in this specification" (CSS 2.1:14.2.1) [1,2] Actually IE8beta uses a "bounding-box" model. It is /problematic/ that the new IE8 engine does not use the "continuous" model, since that would be the initial value for the upcoming CSS3-property background-break [3]. So IE8 is someway in line with the older IE (with less bugs), but is not behaving like the Safari, Firefox & Co. So they missed the chance to get this right from the beginning. I do not understand the reasoning for the IE behavior. Does anyone use the background-positioning on inline-elements at all, in the way IE does it for multi-line elements?
