Classic IE Peekaboo bug. B*itch ain't it! Aside of El's link which has a
very good explanation of it, I stumbled upon a possible easy fix, seems
to work in all cases but time will tell. Define for IE the line-height.
The default value is 'normal' but having any numeric value for IE seems
to work, '1.2' ≈ 'normal'.

I have found just adding:

BODY { line-height: 1.2; }

Appears to fix it.

Yup - I've come across that one lately too, (and forgot about it when
replying to Barry!), and it would be interesting to test it on all
classic peek-a-boo occasions. If it works for all of them, it kinda
makes all the other solutions obsolete though - means we can throw out
about half of all CSS discussions from the web ;-)
