Could it be that you're clicking within the "viewport" but outside the
document's "body"? As Internet Explorer doesn't support registering
event listeners in the "capture" phase, GWT registers handlers on the
document.body to "capture" (almost) every event and explicitly
"previews" every event before dispatching it to the widget; while in
all other browsers an event listener is registered on the window (not
the document.body, the window!) in the capture phase.
And IIRC, in quirks mode the body is sized so that it's never
"smaller" than the viewport, which is not the case in standards mode
by default. A workaround is (IIRC) to add the following to your
stylesheet:
html { height: 100%; }
body { height: 100%; }
but be aware that it might affect others browsers too...
I have this same problem in an Enterprise app where all users are
forced to use IE6 (crappy corporate rules!). When they reported the
bug, I told them that it just doesn't work if you click the blank area
below the content; and they haven't asked us to "fix it".
