Note: "I" am not creating the browser, but the dynamic web project creates it
when "Run on Server" is executed.
That being said, Javascript says: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT
5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR
3.5.30729; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET4.0C; InfoPath.1)

That release does not have the issue. And it reports:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR
2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 1.1.4322;
.NET4.0C; InfoPath.1)
Would this be a candidate for backporting to helios? If not officially
backported, do you think the patch would easily apply to helios?
