This is a strange problem--everything works well in FF3, Chrome and my wife's copy of IE7. In my copy of IE however, when I click on a thumbnail/link the shadowbox comes up, but when I scroll down the shadow moves down the page twice as fast as the page is scrolling up, leaving a "gap" at the top of the window, and eventually the shadowbox disappears entirely off the bottom of the window.
This is a brand new installation (at http://borealisimages.ca/journal/), I've tried disabling the few plugins I've installed but the problem persists even then.
Have you seen something like this before? or better yet--have you figured out how to fix this?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Jonathan,
Have you figured out what this bug is? I've got the same one and I thought my client was crazy (which is still debatable) since I don't see it on my IE, but checking on a friend's computer that has a slightly different IE version pulls up this bug.
If you're at the top of the page and you click a shadowbox link, it'll open centered, but if you're even slightly down the page it'll open halfway down (darkened background starts halfway down page too). Scrolling down will shoot the shadowbox down the page and out of sight. A shadowbox link that is buried down a long page will pop up out of sight.
Somewhere the math for keeping this centered is getting wonky, but only in certain versions of IE. Can anyone figure this out?
@Kingivor
I'm sorry to say that I do still see this problem. The even stranger thing is that I recently upgraded to IE8 and the problem still persists (I'm almost certain--but don't recall exactly when I first noticed the scrolling issue vs when my IE got updated). Can you post (or send me) a link to your client's site? I'll give it a try to see if I get the same thing on a different site.
I'm currently running IE 8.0.6001.18702 on a WinXP SP3 machine--what's your client using? Please let me know (jmdr@<my domain>) if you come up with a solution--I'm not enough of a coder myself to be of much help.
@Anyone:
If you come across this thread, perhaps you could try the link and post if you see the problem, and which (exact) version of Internet Explorer you're using? Thanks!

Anyone figured this out yet? Could this be a result of recent wordpress upgrades?
Sorry, upgrading to 2.9.1 did not fix this (not for me anyways). Are you having the same problem dovvoinc?

Yes same problem, even with the latest configuration. It'd be great if we had an answer to this...
