*shakes fist* damn you, IE! It shouldn't oughta be doing that, and we're probably going to have to do some trial and error to see if we can fix it.

Also, I know that this is Not The Answer You Want To Hear, but we actually might not be able to fix it, because IE7 is really awful at respecting standards, and we honestly can't spend a lot of time devoted to it -- IE users only account for 12% of our traffic and IE7 users only account for 19% of that 12%. Our stated policy is that we design for and test with the most recent version of every supported browser, and we try to cover the previous version of each supported browser but if we can't get it 100% looking like it should after a reasonable amount of effort, we aren't going to sweat it. We might have to do that here, because width of elements like this is a known problem with IE7, and unless we want to undo the improvements we did to the underlying CSS, we might not be able to get it fixed. (I just don't want you expecting it's going to be an immediate fix!)

(Dude, no worries. I only use IE7 at work and only because we can't run anything else; at home I'm all Chromed and Firefox-ed out. It's just that I didn't know if the pink/red strip was a new feature or not when I opened DW this morning, and I couldn't check via my other browsers while at work.)

On a more positive note, I see that selected inbox messages are now indicated with a pinkish background in IE7/here at my work computer. Thanks for that!

(Waaaay back when I worked in a locked-down environment, I used to bring FF on a flash drive. *G* They were stupid enough to not block running of programs on a drive, mostly because it was so uncommon...)

Anyway, we'll see what we can do!

Wow, that's low. I'd have expected it to be higher on a site like this, which is arguably general-purpose!
