[Bug] IE7: Cannot render map for some languages on small screens [sf#30] about openflights HOT 7 CLOSED

Can you please provide screenshots, your browser version and your operating system? Google Chrome (2.0.172.37) and IE 7 (7.0.6001.18000) both work just fine on my Vista test machine.

Of course!
My system is as following:
Vista Ultimate 64 SP2
Chrome 3.0.182.3 beta (!)
IE7 (64bit) 7.0.6002.18005

Chrome works fine today - very interesting, maybe beacause of my update to the latest beta (?)

IE7 looks like this:

On the top of the page is the map and a white space to the right, where the text should be located.

If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help.

This is a nasty known issue with IE7 -- if you're using a small screen (eg. 800x600) and a language version with long strings (eg. French, German), the toolbar overflows to the right and completely screws up the map. Other browsers seem to handle this correctly.

Workarounds are a) use a different browser, or b) use a larger monitor...

...or, the easiest solution (?), switch to English.
