Right, I should have mentioned that I am using IE7.0. I am not currently using the simple skin, but my own, but I have tried every possible skin setting I could think of. Finally I worked around the size problems by specifying width/height in em units in my skin, but that's quite a hack of course. At least it roughly works when scaling/zooming, but of course it may fail if a translation uses longer strings.
I am going to check both with the simple skin and with IE 6.0. I had hoped to avoid the css style browser incompatibility hell by using only Trinidad components instead of html, but it seems that was too optimistic.
