bug 419 - fieldset legends broken again in IE9 PP3

Issue: #419
Affects: IE9 PP3, Opera 11
Fixed In: IE9 Platform Preview 6

Update: Opera latest release (version 11) is also showing broken fieldset legends.

It appears that the latest IE9 Platform Preview #3 (PP3) has re-broken (bug 190) the fieldset element to cause rendering glitches with the legend element.

As you can see, (if you use IE9 PP3) the legend does not render correctly at all. The legend is not contained inline within the fieldset border. Hopefully this is just a bug in this third preview.

Known Workarounds: None.

An anonymous poster has indicated that this is fixed in "Internal" builds shared with 3rd parties. Am I the only one that would love to be in on this "special list"? ;-) That said, glad to hear a fix is apparently on the way.

A Fieldset is really simple, you have a wrapper, and a legend which graphically wrap 1 or more form fields.

As you can see, (if you use IE8) the legend does not render correctly at all. Hopefully this is just a bug in this first Beta. Stay tuned for updates as further beta releases become available.
