Strange SharePoint Calendar Week view problems in Internet Explorer IE8
Using SharePoint 2007 and IE8. I have a calendar setup with many entries and showing 2 titles under the week view. I have only the start time and no end time for the events. As you can see from the screen shots, IE does not display the
entries that 2 lines in a cell correctly. It cuts off the bottom half of the text.

The top two screen shots show IE and the bottom two are Firefox.
Another odd problem in IE is when I load the page or just hover the mouse over the calendar's top and side bars (i.e. hover over Monday or Tuesday) the 2nd title (bottom title) of each event has to load in (hard to explain but they show up one by one and
the faster the CPU of the computer, the faster they show up).
I have tried in WinXP, Win7, high res (1080p), low res, and IE9 and all have the same problem. Firefox and even my droid phone have no problem with the week view showing both titles. They render the display correctly and in a snap (no waiting
to load the 2nd title). I just thought this this is really odd given how IE is supposed to be more compatible with SharePoint.
Anyone else has ran into this problem? I'm guessing you can tweak the height of the row or cells in SharePoint (haven't tried it yet) to fix IE. But how can Firefox display the week view correctly?
