Stange menu behavior in IE

Im noticing same problem. When running mouse over links in navigation box the text half disappears. Moving mouse over link button in the top menu/header, or a tab in the admin panel, fixes the issue until you run your mouse over the navigation box again.

Is this being looked into? I see it's been open for some time.

I am having this same issue (among others) with this theme, I believe the 5x port was only partially successful.

I 'think' it may potentially have something to do with this warning I get when trying to validate, but I don't know theme design well enough to be sure. Do any of you get this error when trying to validate your site with this theme?
(Check at http://validator.w3.org)

"Conflict between Mime Type and Document Type

The document is being served with the text/html Mime Type which is not a registered media type for the XHTML 1.1 Document Type. The recommended media type for this document is: application/xhtml+xml

Using a wrong media type for a certain document type may confuse the validator and other user agents with respect to the nature of the document, and you may get some erroneous validation errors."

I am guessing I will probably have to switch themes as most support requests for this one seem to go unanswered, but it really is a nice looking theme, so I am posting here and hoping for the best...

OK, I have cobbled 'somewhat' of a fix.
On line 290 of style.css remove the following code
background: white url(img/gradient.gif) top left repeat-x;
and the strange 'obscuring' of navigational links will stop occuring.

The problem is after you remove that, the sidebar menus are pretty plain, displaying only the background of the rest of the page...

I'll keep playing
