This bug sounds a lot like:
http://drupal.org/node/39422

When viewing book pages with IE (don't like it but most of my visitors use it), some of the text is hidden until selected with the cursor or until you scroll it off the screen and slowly scroll it back on. If you scroll rapidly, different text will disappear and you have to select it with the cursor or scroll it off and back on the screen to see it.

I'm using current CVS Drupal and CVS Slash.

I'm pretty sure the bug is in IE but I would like to accomodate my visitors that use IE and let them see the text.

There are 2 things that I found that can be commented out to make the text appear all the time.

1:

.node .content {
/* background: #ffffff;*/
padding: 1px 10px 1px 10px;
border-left: 1px solid #69c;
border-right: 1px solid #69c;
border-bottom: 1px solid #69c;
font-size: 0.84em;

2:

/*
.node h1.title {
background: transparent;
color: #fff;
font-size: 1em;
font-weight: bold;
margin: 0;
padding: 2px 10px 2px 10px;
}
*/

The problem is that you need those styles so commenting them out won't work.
I'm not an expert in css so if anyone can help with a work around for this, I would greatly appreciate it.

I don't have Internet Explorer (or Windows) myself so I can't test this. I'm happy to commit any neat and clean patches to fix the problem.

You only have problems on book nodes, not story nodes etc.? Can you attach a small screen shot of the problem?

I did some searching, and I found that adding "zoom: 100%" to nodecontent is a quick fix for the bug, but it's not a great fix because it won't properly validate. We only use Drupal on our Intranet and I know everyone's browsers at work will show the site fine, so it works for me now, but I wonder if there's something bigger here I'm missing that will kick me later?

Thank you! for posting the zoom: 100% workaround. This has been driving me crazy up to now, your workaround seems to fix the problem here.

Very much appreciated!

Thanks for the workaround!

I have this same problem and the "zoom: 100%;" works like a charm in IE

This was happening to me when I had a background color for my .sticky class, so all sticky nodes would have hidden content until scrolling and such... The zoom fix worked for me as well, but does anybody know the reason behind this? It was fine with the last drupal version.
