Florin, the templates in the new system are amazingly more flexible, semantically correct, and allow you to move things around very easily with only good knowledge of CSS. Please don't let the viewing of the site at 800x600 be the determining factor here - as that is not even on the radar as a viewport size that people use these days.
It is true that there are issues in every browser when you've bring things down to a really small level, there is a bug which needs to be corrected - but I would go so far as to say that the foundation you are working with in the trunk is leaps and bounds ahead of what is in either release branch. Please check out the trunk, and ask direct questions about places where you may see discrepancies. Where the project is headed - especially in contrast from where we came from - means we're trending in a positive direction.
I was testing this in Firefox and Safari on a MAC and am pleased with the rendering as long as you're viewing it with a viewport of over about 1190 (basically any 13" Macbook). On Oct 31, 2009, at 11:48 AM, Ruth Hoffman wrote:

Thanks Jacques - that is great to know. I have not seen these - maybe
because I'm not on Windows - I didn't know. Have you tried altering any of the padding / margins to test it on Windows? If I had a box here, I'd be all on it with you. The others have not been an issues for me at all. Btw, these are all very simple CSS fixes though - I doubt any of them have to do with the layout - so anyone with a windows box should be able to look at the styles and update them where appropriate and submit patches. Looking forward to it - the flexibility is there, now it's time we all learn to use it and fix it up.

Thanks for the added insight. Looking forward to developers, who know
how to use CSS, continuing to help make the project better. What we have today is amazingly more flexible and makes each and every theme developed on top of this system easier to use and program. As might be expected, the infinitely generic OOTB theme is not the one that most people roll out in production. I personally think these are small, because I actually understand the underlying technology and know where and how issues can be caused and fixed. Ruth, you've been involved in the project for a really long time - and even at one point as a developer - and these issues plague you, right? Why not dive in and try some minor tweaks with CSS and let us know what you see on that small screen? I'd love to have some feedback from you and Jacques, to the dev list, about what happens when you change this CSS entry - it would be great to have a deeper level of testing out there that helps pinpoint the problems so we can fix them. Back to you Florin - I'm standing pat on my point - the CSS and HTML in the current trunk are so far advanced beyond what as there before (that's right inline stylind and tables don't break) that I can't even put it to words. We'll keep fixing the issues as they come up and will take this project to the next level.
