First off, it seems you acknowledge that there is indeed a problem but havent made a technote yet or any public information regarding this bug ?
Second, the problem occurs on any windows browser (opera, mozilla, internet explorer). I dont know what test combination you had but on any WinXP SP2 machine with either mozilla, opera or IE as default browser the error occurs.. Furthermore the error does NOT occure with Adobe Reader 6 - how can it be a Windows Problem if it works in Adobe 6 and below on the same machine but not with Adobe 7 and Adobe 8 ? This is definitly a bug in Adobe Reader not in windows.
