    bottom border missing for window widget in IE8

    I'm coming across a strange problem in the regression testing of our product in IE. Whereas before, the window widgets had a bottom border appropriate to their skin, now we just have whitespace there. It works fine in other browsers.

    This problem doesn't appear if the document mode is ie9(maybe 10, haven't tested that). But if the document mode is ie8 or ie7, this appears.

    The version of smartgwt we're using is: 3.1p.0.0

    This happens in all the skins we normally use: Enterprise, Enterprise Blue, and Graphite.

    Do you have any suggestions to get the bottom border back?

    We're not aware of a problem with the appearance of Windows in Internet Explorer 8 in the 3.1p branch.

    Firstly - can you clarify which exact build you're using? You mention 3.1p but it's not clear what build date you're referring to. If you haven't already, please try with the latest nightly build available here.

    Secondly - can you clarify how you're testing this? It's not clear whether you're using an actual IE8 instance, or just testing with the IE8 rendering engine either via custom doctype/meta tags in your page or by adjusting settings in the browser itself.
    If the latter, it is possible that you're seeing a false positive that wouldn't come up in an actual usage with a real IE8 installation as there are various differences between IE9 running as IE8 and a true IE8 installation.
    If the bug does still exist for you running against the latest nightly build, be sure to let us know exactly what your test case is (what browser you're using, what configuration you've applied at the browser level, any custom doctype or meta tags, and what samples manifest the problem / steps to reproduce) and we'll have a look.
    As an aside - at this stage we recommend running in HTML5 mode for browsers that support it, including IE9/10 - so you should have the doctype specified as simply <!DOCTYPE html> in your actual application

      Thank you for the reply. We ultimately updated to the nightly build and that seemed to fix the immediate problem.

      In general, we're hesitant to upgrade to a new nightly build as that seems to introduce new problems.
