Franky, Cem, Georg, this gives a lot of sense to the missing border problem. The bug (I thoughtlessly killed) seems to occur quite often, a quick search revealed these threads: http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/62453 http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/61374 and I can remember reading of some more problems with borders not appearing on hover in inline menus.
