This users' small gripes of IE9

I agree with all the above. One more to add for me. I use a triple monitor set-up, and whenever I go to another webpage, all my desktop icons flash right when the webpage is finishing loading. Sometimes other applications flash on my other screens also. I thought maybe I had to let IE settle in since it uses HA, but even after hours of being up, and several restarts, everything still flashes. It's only for a brief second, but still, very strange, and annoying. I tried it on two different computers, and they both do it. If you want to test it on a single monitor set-up just snap IE to one of the sides of your monitor so you can see your desktop with the icons, and then load a webpage. You will see the icons flash.

Oh, I now notice this too. Very slight and doesn't always happen every time, but there.

Anyone know how to make the tabs smoother? I don't like the sharp edges.

I have two immediate observations:

(1) No spell-check. This is crazy. I would love to know MS's logic of consistently not having this in IE.
(2) GMail, while working just fine, is oddly rendered. Just looks different. Or, maybe I have been using Chrome for too long.

Edit:

(3) If MS was going to redesign the UI of IE9 radically, which they did, then why did they not make the various tool bars (command bar, fav bar etc.) more in line with the overall UI of the browser. They do look ugly and out of place. They certainly could have made it much much better.

Otherwise, I am finding IE9 to be fast and I do like the exteme minimalism.

Hi there

The spell check is probably quite tricky because for example if IE is installed in standard English what would you use : American or British.

Also if you change your Windows display language then IE spell checker will be rather pointless -- especially if you are posting in say ENGLISH while your display language is say Welsh or whatever.

For example see attachment IE8 in Icelandic (Windows 7 English version with Icelandic Language pack installed) -- Not sure how a spell checker would work here.

Google Chrome doesn't have this problem as it assumes English although I haven't checked to see if it uses US or UK spelling.

Incidentally IE9 doesn't change the menu language etc from English even if you have the Language packs installed -- could be a problem in some cases.

Its easy if you use a modern browser like Opera , just have to select the word & right click it , dictionaries is the bottom option. The default is us.eng

I still don't get why(and it did this in the Beta and the RC) it WILL NOT remember login info for some sites, but will for others. It has worked for a majority of the sites, but like, here, Vista Forums, and the 8 Forums, it never asked, and I can't figure out how to trick it into actually asking me if I want it to "remember" the logins.

On the problem with the Favorites on the left, Shawn just wrote a tut: https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...left-side.html This may not be as it was, but it may help.

What I miss is the little triangle next to the forward button (top left). Seems to be AWOL.

Really not a permanent open and close solution though. Only temporary once you click on the X.
