Garland theme: unnumbered lists not displayed properly using IE 6

When I create an unnumbered list, some bullets are shown in the browser and others not. The number of bullets that is shown varies a great deal. Same for the number of bullets that is not shown. The problem occurs whether you use [/li] or no [/li] to close the list items. I have tried both the methods shows below.

METHOD 1

[ul]
[li] item 1 [/li]
[li] item 2 [/li]
[li] item 3 [/li]
[/ul]

METHOD 2

[ul]
[li] item 1
[li] item 2
[li] item 3
[/ul]

Menu items in Garland are shown properly.

The input format is set to "Full HTML".

Applies to: Drupal 5.0 RC2 (and also Drupal 5.0 RC1)
Theme: Garland
Contrib installed modules: none
OS: Windows XP, SP2

Although I have no idea how to resolve this issue, I found a comment on the web about unnumbered lists that may apply to this issue.

Yet another wonderful difference between IE and and Gecko browsers. With enough experimentation, you will find that the markers for lists are affected by margins in one browsers, and padding in other browsers.

For this case, padding:0 on the [ul] is the culprit. Adding padding-left:1em lets the bullets show for the simple case you describe. Depending on what fonts and font sizes you select, this will need adjustment.
