I haven't checked, but it sounds a lot like the Peekaboo bug [1]. Even 
if it isn't, that site might be able to help

I had seen the Peerkaboo bug but discounted it because (1) I'm using
IE5 but the article mentions IE6. I can't get the claimed bug to work,
and (2) it doesn't really match my situation.

However, in tinkering with different forms of layout (absolute widths
for columns, relative widths for columns, floats for columns) the
problem has gone away. I would give myself a pat on the back except
for the fact I have no idea what went wrong in the first place or what
I did to fix it!
