Adding to the list of why IE7 is a nightmare, try this… I was using version 7.0.5730.11.
Bring up your favorite web page and double click a word on the page, not a link, but a word. It highlights that word, yes? Good. It should.
Note that one of the features that CSS is designed for is so that the user can override the appearance. Say for instance, I’m blind as a bat, and I would like the font larger so I can read the web page without strain.
Hold down the Control key and roll your mouse wheel. You can zoom-in and zoom-out. Again, very handy.
Now, double click a word on the page. Surprised?
That’s right the code that handles what you highlighted is misaligned with where the text is rendered. This means if you’ve zoomed in, as I did, in order to copy something, you can’t do so with any degree of precision.
Yet another annoyance from the people who want to take over your desktop.
