The symptoms and fix sound *exactly* like the problem I reported on the IE list about the contents of the window being drawn with an incorrect origin. In my case, the contents of the window were drawn to the right of the rightmost graphic element. I happened to see it when I had the window open wider than the rightmost graphic element, and voila! The text was there, just offset to the right! Resizing the window, clicking on either of the "hide toolbars" widgets, or anything else that forced a redraw of the window by IE caused the contents to be drawn in their correct location. -- Glenn L.
