Kara, I somewhat managed to "reproduce" the problem locally (after refreshing the cache a couple of times, reloading, refreshing ... and opening several instances of IE6). The problem is that we cannot identify a trigger locally that might cause the bug after several refreshes only. The good news is that the color of the 2px dotted border is not changing, so you could safely ignore this !important on the border color. The bad news is that the problem affects the space between the border dots. I have changed the colors of the logo.gif and the colors and widths in the CSS for contrast (gray dots, black background). Screenshot: http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/bizarre/kara5.png In line 1 and 3 there are colored pixel filling the space between the gray dots. Note that these are parts of different transparent gifs you are using on the page. In the first line, there are some green spots, and the third line there are parts of the logo.gif (to the left) and from the headline.gif (to the right). How bizarre. Here, I have used a couple of lines this way to simulate a "screen": http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/bizarre/bizarrebug.html Screenshot: http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/bizarre/bizarre.png (http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/bizarre/bizarre.jpg) A list entry with a dotted border-bottom and a transparent background-gif and padding-bottom seems to be all what is needed to mirror the video memory between the dots? Is this a variant of the creeping text bug [1]? Strange one.
