Using Windows 7 and IE9, selecting an item from the dropdown menu under my user name (top right hand corner) has become hit and miss. It takes conscious effort to move the mouse quickly enough to get onto the menu before it disappears.
Steps to recreate: Hover over menu, move mouse slowly downwards. Menu disappears before first item is selected. Move mouse up and down and the menu appears and disappears, remaining tantalisingly close to being selected, all the while taunting and mocking me... wait... too much?

Both FF5 and Chrome13 work fine for me. (Yes, did the clear cache stuff.)

Iv'e tweaked. Should be better for IE8 and below now.

It doesn't seem any different here... thanks for looking into it, it's only a minor annoyance...

Try Ctrl+F5. I updated the CSS a number of times without diong a full version number update, so you may need to kick it a little.
I've tested on IE8 and 7 and it's very different for me. Annoyingly different in 7 - almost like an old man wearing his pants too high - but it works consistently on that poor excuse for a browser.
It's interesting, though, since I remember being excited by IE7.
Briefly.

I've done a bunch of Ctrl-F5's... still the same for me. It's like there's a little gap between the bottom of my user name, and the top of the drop down menu, so as I move the pointer down, it's losing focus and picking up the ad below it...

 For some reason I thought you were on IE8.
OK, I will tweak for IE9 to bring the menu closer. IE9 is the one version of IE that's sensible about this for me. I guess I have a bad install or something.

[EDIT] IE 8  (I'm at work) on Win XP [/EDIT]
Ctrl+Z for Cut/delete/paste - major
1. Type some text, then select part of it, and cut/delete/paste text.
2. Hit Ctrl+Z immediately, it will undo your change as expected.
3. Repeat Ctrl+Z after 5 seconds or so, it won't work anymore.
This can get quite nasty if you paste the wrong text in the middle of a message, or worse, delete text accidentally and can't restore it.
I suspect this is related to the auto preview, which I think happens every 2 seconds or so?
Ctrl+Z for regular typing - minor
1. Type any text in the Subject line and hit Ctrl+Z, it will disappear as expected.
2. Do the same thing in the Message text, it won't disappear, even if you do it immediately. You have to delete it manually.

Spent the afternoon on this one and have come to the conclusion that, again, IE bites the big one. It's truly painful.
The issue?
If I do
$('#Preview')[0].html(result);
where Preview is a DIV, then the TextArea element gets Alzheimer's. They are unrelated. I'm updating the innerHTML of a DIV and not touching the TextArea element. Nonetheless, it's full amnesia and no Ctrl-Z.

On laptops, I almost certainly had to scroll to use the Post Message button. Thanks to the auto preview, I definitely have to scroll, even on desktop monitors.
Can you put a duplicate Post Message button at the top, above/near the Subject?
Google does this on their search results page, with a text box and search button at the top *and* bottom of the page.

My concern with this is for new members posting and not reviewing what they post, or not seeing their options and making a mess.
Do you think this could be an issue?

Did you mean to address this to the other thread? (Asking to disable the preview.)
If yes - by all means, enable the preview by default. I am happy to switch it off myself.
If not - I don't see how a second Submit / Post Message button would cause issues with reviewing their post?
For instance, I am replying to your post with a maximized IE8 running on 1280 x 1024, and I have to scroll the mouse down 3 units before I can see the Post Message button.

No - I meant that if the 'post message' button is at the top then they are less likely to scroll below to see their posting options and preview, potentially causing gnashing of teeth.
We didn't have preview last week and we managed to hobble along OK. I just want to ensure we don't do anything rash Or rasher. Bacon like. Nothing bacon-like should happen here.

Thanks, I like the placement, better than what I had imagined!
Embarrassingly, I posted another bug just minutes back and didn't notice the new button then. Only saw it after I read your post. 
How about disabling the preview?

The preview is impressive, no doubt.
Having said that, I find it distracting, can you please include an option to disable it? It pushes the Post Message button even further down and necessitates scrolling, especially on laptops.

I can't seem to vote on Questions and Tips, because the button to the right of the radio buttons has disappeared, apparently off right side of the panel. The Article and Message voting seems to be working just fine, as usual.
I'm using FF, but it does the same on IE 9.

Chris, maybe it hasn't been patched yet, but I'm not seeing any difference. I still can't vote on the main article and it appears that the Vote button is pushed off the right side of the panel.

Now I can see about 80% of the Vote button under Tips using FF and all of the button using IE9, but the Vote button is still not visible under the Questions using either browser.
