Garland: Long site title disappears in IE when browser window width is reduced

I am experiencing this issue too. Site is at http://www.oatsfestival.com

Marked http://drupal.org/node/185763 as a duplicate of this issue.

Copy of pertinent information from the duplicate issue and update version:

In IE6 and IE7, if the combined width of the Site Logo, Name and Slogan is too wide for the window, they disappear completely. As soon as you expand the width of the window to a point that all three entries will fit, they instantly reappear. The expected behavior would be for the text to be cut off as the window size becomes smaller, not to disappear completely.

This functions as expected in FF2.

This bug still active in D7.x-dev using ie7 and ie6...

At what browsersize (resolution) does this occur?
When I know that, could investigate further...

@Stefan:

This varies, depending on the length of the site name and slogan. Here's one example:

Browser = IE7
Resolution = 1024x768 (browser window is maximized)
In the Garland configuration, Logo, Site name, and Site slogan are all selected.
The logo file is the default.
Site slogan I left blank (just for ease of character counting)
Site name = "12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012"

When the site name is 60 characters, everything is fine. You can just see the last '0' on the screen. At 61 characters, the display is still correct even though the final '1' is off the display. When the name is 62 characters, the logo and name disappear.

If you add a slogan, the combination of name and slogan is around the same 60 characters. There is some variation when using letters as they are not all the same width, as well as the slight space between the name and the slogan.

You can also reproduce the effect just by having a name and/or slogan visible. Then resize the browser window down. As soon as the name+slogan becomes slightly wider than the current display width, they disappear.

I hope this helps.

Sorry, without further information this issue can only be marked as won't fix.

Feel free to re-open this issue if you want to provide further information. Thanks.

This issue still occurs with Drupal 6 and IE6 (have not tried other versions). What "further information" do you need? ScoutBaker seems to have provided everything. In essence, if the window is not wider than the name, the name will disappear. I looked at the CSS using Firebug, but did not see anything amiss.

I made a patch.
header text now is absolute position, works well on my test.

#9: garland-header-fix.patch queued for re-testing.
