Well when I said "mysterious" I didn't mean the bug itself, as sadly I'm
all to familiar with IE bugs, but rather the fact that I couldn't
reproduce it myself even with exactly the same OS and IE version. (And I
still can't!)

Georg, thank you very very much. That is a huge help to me.

Well I've tried that and I *still* can't reproduce the bug. I wonder if
it depends on what font is being used. The text that disappears has this
font-family rule:
"Arial Rounded Bold","Arial Rounded MT Bold","Helvetica Rounded
Bold",Arial,Helvetica,Helv,sans-serif;
The VMs I've been testing on all have Arial Rounded Bold installed, but
maybe if it isn't and the browser falls back to Arial then the problem
occurs? That doesn't sound very likely to me, but I do wonder why I
can't reproduce the problem.

Well I just tested at 2360x1770 and at all IE's five font-sizes and I
still can't reproduce it. Weird.
Thank you again. I am very grateful for your help.
Best, Darren
