    What lines are you referring to on that page? What version of IE?

    There is one advise,
    Do not care about IE. ??
    It is dead

    Alas, many of my potential clients still use IE, so I cannot give up on it just yet. That’s how I found out about it in the first place, a visitor alerted me to it, which I verified on my own.

    It’s the last few words on each line on my more text-heavy pages, eg:

    https://meaningfulmagic.org/?page_id=16

    I do not know which version my visitor was using, but it seems to cut off with IE 11 as well.

    Thanks again!

    Can you replicate the problem?

    Yep, when I visit with IE, I see the same thing my visitor reported. Here’s a link to a screenshot:

    That’s really strange, I tried in IE11 and couldn’t replicate that. Then I tried messing with IE11’s emulation settings and still couldn’t replicate it. Could you check the Emulation settings to see if any are on other than the default (F12 and then go to “Emulation” tab)

    So buddy,
    you made me to go to my old Windows 7 laptop and try.
    Believe me having MacBook Pro makes you forget how horrible was that time with Windows. ??
    It did exactly what you have described.

    Here is a solution:
    There is a text shadow on the content.
    Almost not seen some change, except freaking up IE

    This is written in original style.css file somewhere:

    <strong>#container, #content, #content-full {
      text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #CECCCC;
    }</strong>

    when I turned that text-shadow down, all was perfect.

    PUT THIS SNIPPET OF CODE TO YOUR CHILD THEME style.css file.
    Instead – 1px 1px 1px #CECCCC put none

    see bellow:

    #container, #content, #content-full {
      text-shadow: none;
    }

    Hope this will work out for you
    Feel free to ask
    ?? and as I said IE is past, wasted time

    There are some statistics to show the new version of IE is as popular as Firefox.

    and:
    Was that helpful??
    It is to help you not to argue about IE ??
    I know you need it because whole world is still running on IE and Windows, unfortunately.

    So long

    Indeed, it was helpful! Thanks, removing the text shadow did the trick.

    I’m no fan of IE, either, but you’re right, I have to play to what people are using.

    Thanks again!

    Hi MeaningfulMagic,
    Im glad that your problem is solved.
    I was not sure, if I can solve this.

    Was not easy to find out, what that IE is up to. ??
    I had to go step by step and try all possibilities.
    To my advantage, I hit the point as third choice.
    So I was mostly lucky, then Guru ??
    Will remember that for good.

    It is not smart move to do shadows on text, from Theme developer.
    Almost no effect and big issue for good working web.
    Maybe, you should write to developer, so he will realise what he did.

    It is time to slowly persuade clients about leaving IE and using Chrome or Firefox.
    Sad but nesesity.

    Looking for these crazy behaviour of the IE is really wasted time.

    Feel free to ask in the future
    Cheers
