New issue 467 by barnettl...@gmail.com: In IE8, text bubbles within the map
do not autosize to fit the text.
http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/issues/detail?id=467

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Opening the map view in Internet Explored 8
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
In all other browsers, the text bubbles within a map autosize to fit the
amount of text displayed. In IE8 not only is the text a different size,
but the bubbles do not autosize and text flows off of the bottom of the
container.

What version of the product are you using? On what browser and what
operating system?
Exhibit 2.2, IE8

Please provide any additional information below.
Applying the style "height:auto" to the text bubble solves the problem of
overflow in every browser other than IE8.
