ComboBox: text following ComboBox appears before/behind it (IE7)

[bill]

See ​test_ComboBox.html on IE7. Use the new zoom feature (Ctrl+) and then there are some ComboBox's with text following them, like this markup:

	<label for="datatest">US State test 2 (8pt font): </label>
	<input dojoType="dijit.form.ComboBox"
			value="California"
			class="medium"
			store="stateStore"
			searchAttr="name"
			style="width: 200px; font-size: 8pt;"
			name="state2"
			onChange="setVal2"
			id="datatest"
	>
	<span>Value: <input id="value2" disabled value="California"></span>
	<hr>

The "Value" string should clearly appear to the right of the combobox (or to the left on RTL systems). However, the text appears before (ie, to the left) and behind the ComboBox?:

I ran test_ComboBox.html on IE7 and then increased the font size via
View->Text size->Largest and everything renders correctly.

But it's failing for me, on two separate computers plus on parallels. Clearly there's a bug here (see the screenshot).

I can confirm this

When changing text size it works, but when you actually zoom in and out it shows up (Ctrl +/-)

hmm, this trivial file also fails on IE7; if plain inputs don't work then can't expect ComboBox? to... hmm

[Douglas Hays]

I can fix test_combobox.html by adding

.dj_ie7 SPAN {
    zoom: 1;
}

but this doesn't address the bigger problem of requiring stylable tags with zoom:1 after input boxes.

Yeah... I'm going to close this for now since the problem is bigger than just ComboBox? but rather affects IE in general, regardless of dojo (see attached zoom.html​) ... and also since it's fixed in IE8. Surprising bug though.
