@Kerpal,

yeah, that is a really annoying bug:

http://home.exetel.com.au/amurgshere/private/test.html

I've run into that one a few times myself... I'm hoping that in IE8, there is a greater focus on fixing what is broken in IE, verses adding new features.

At the moment, code has special conditions for IE5.0, IE5.5, IE6.0, and now, since most issues were not fixed, for IE7.0 but best of all, there are new issues with 7.0, that need additional logic to handle.

It would be nice in IE8.0 to have the major JavaScript issues fixed, such that we can maintain hacks for Legacy IE versions (5.x-7.x) but hopefully clean, Spec friendly JavaScript from 8.x onward.

for IE8 can you please fix autocomplete so that values entered in fields are stored, whenever a form is submitted, regardless of how. GET/POST, via [Enter] in a form field, or most importantly, if JavaScript submits the form. The fact that this last option does not work is mind-bogglingly annoying, and totally ruins the usability of this feature. Almost every Web 2.0 application out there build since 2000 does not use the submit button to submit forms. The lack of JavaScript client side validation alone makes it useless. Please ensure that this gets fixed in IE8, like it was quoted to have been fixed in IE7 during the "technical chats" with the development team.

"I'm using a CMS for the first time in the browser, do a lot of changes and have to put new image.. click on the "insert image" button... (it opens a new window with image list) and "do you allow pop-up... blablbal appear... yes. allow. and WTF!!! page reloads and all changes in the form are lost!"

If you know a site is going to use popups, then just put it on the allowed list for popups.

"The middle-mouse button for scroll-wheel mice isn't exactly easy and comfortable to click."

I, and everyone else I know have no problems with this. Of course, if you have a $5 mouse, you can't expect things to be very comfortable.

I've been running into a lot of trouble recently with IE7 on Vista Ultimate.

After running a browser with a couple of tabs open for a while (e.g. couple of days), and taking the machine in and out of sleep/hibernate, IE7 eventually becomes unstable and basically has to be closed.

It looks like a memory leak or something - parts of the window become black and/or flash as you move across, text becomes jumbled and images/text overlap all over (including over the tabs, or the black space that now covers them), etc.

This is stock IE7, no add-ins. Sites open are two tabs of Horde online webmail and one Facebook tab.

I've verified this on several IE7/Vista machines - can be duplicated by opening several browser windows containing pictures of any kind - after a while, it does this, and any new windows are graphically screwed up - e.g. empty Vista window frame with nothing inside, or black, etc.

Also, kind of strange - when this happens and I click the X button to close IE, with multiple tabs open, it just closes everything and exits - doesn't ask if I want to close all tabs, as it usually does.

I've only encountered this kind of issue once before, on a .NET program hosting a WebBrowser (IE6) control on XP - after a while, it sometimes just became unstable, couldn't figure out why.

@bocz

because the pop-up's html code has been removed by pop-up blocker and so the page has to be reloaded.

I hate it! When I allow IE7 to open "pop-up" window it's reloading the whola page. Why?

WHY?

Example: I'm using a CMS for the first time in the browser, do a lot of changes and have to put new image.. click on the "insert image" button... (it opens a new window with image list) and "do you allow pop-up... blablbal appear... yes. allow. and WTF!!! page reloads and all changes in the form are lost!

you don't understand how favicons works.

@luc: The middle-mouse button for scroll-wheel mice isn't exactly easy and comfortable to click. : )

@Fduch: An optional option to save it to the URL shortcut would be nice. So whenver the user visits the site again, the Favicon would get updated. : )
