EditView Layout in IE7

[roblaus]

Just had a presentation at a customer and the screen layout (EditView) under IE7/Win7 looked horrible. Line spaces between fields were at least twice as high as with FF on exactly the same server/version (52j).

Any explanation or better a cure?

Long since abandoned IE ... is FireFox not an option or does the customer mandate IE?

[roblaus]

The latter unfortunately.
SF replacement, so the screen layout hurts even more because SF does indeed have a nice one.

Anybody? Or am I the only one who sees this? There are still about 50% IE users out there, almost all of them belonging to Sugar's preferred target - business users.

see for yourself - this is ff35 anf ie8 on xp

Rob ... I agree with your concern ... it would be useful to get some SugarCRM eyeballs on this ... IE still has majority market share and it doesn't make a lot of sense not to cater specifically for it.

Anyone from SugarCRM got some input on this?

[roblaus]

Yeah, you're right. Especially in this case. The company in question has to use IE because of their own products. I will test it with 5.5, maybe the new css make all the difference...

5.5 looks ok. At least with ie8. The question now: how long will it take until it becomes stable enough for production use? The usual 3-6 months is definitely too much.
