3.5 general IE audit (excluding media)

[lessbloat]

Sweep of IE 7, 8, 9 functionality for 3.5.

#22446, and #22441 re related media specific IE tickets.

Items I noticed:

IE8

• Customizer: JS error preventing site preview from showing
• Welcome screen: needs some help at smaller resolutions

IE7

• Welcome screen formatting is way off

IE 8

1. Start a new post.
2. Click the Add Media button.
3. Screen Says "Drop files anywhere to upload."
4. Drag a file into the window.
5. Alert dialog says, "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?"

lessbloat: Customizer worksforme.

miqrogroove, that's #22441/#22446.

Can someone else please confirm? I'm getting a JS error the var 'response' is being returned as undefined line 366 on customize-controls.js. May just be my setup...

Customizer works in IE 8 for me. However, I've found an odd bug:

1. Open "Site Title & Tagline".
2. Toggle "Display Header Text" checkbox.
3. The font in section headers briefly changes to Arial: 22467.ie8-arial.png​.
4. Move your mouse to highlight another section.
5. The font changes back to Georgia: 22467.ie8-georgia.png​.

Perhaps a result of #21283?

Some RTL issues in IE 7:

• Dashboard has a wide horizontal scroll (22467.ie7-dashboard.png​).
• "Enter title here" in QuickPress is out of place.

I can't seem to replicate this. Mind checking it again?

Both should be fixed in 22467.diff​.

Should that text-indent: -1000em; change only be applied to ie-rtl.css?

comment:7 turned out to be unrelated to #21283. I can only reproduce it with Twenty Twelve when Open Sans is enabled.

Good call. See 22467.2.diff​.

22467.2.diff​ looks good to me.

22467.2.diff​

In 22721:

IE RTL fixes for .screen-reader-text. props lessbloat. see #22467.

Anything else?

[21067] prevented delete theme link from bumping against theme action links, however there's another issue in IE 7/8: the link wraps to the next line with longer strings (22467.ie8-action-links.png​ vs. 22467.ff-action-links.png​).

22467.action-links.patch​ fixes that. Screenshot: 22467.ie8-action-links-after.png​.

22467.action-links.patch and we're done here.

In 22799:

Fix action link styling in IE7 and IE8. props SergeyBiryukov. fixes #22467.
