I just tried vanilla IE7, and it appeared with the large white space but immediately corrected the alignment with a second screen write. I tried other threads (all of which I've previously read) and IE7 did multiple writes, jumping around in the thread to an old post as if that was my "last read" position, though I have already read the whole of the thread with Maxthon !
Where is the "last read" info kept ? In a cookie ? That would mean that IE7 and Maxthon (which uses IE7 engine, cache, cookies, favourites etc) are not in sync despite apparently using the same data sources.
Addendum:
There's something strange going on. Having opened this thread with IE7, Maxthon now corrects the alignment automatically, (though evidence of the leftward shift is still present because it drags the "chip-in" flash across to the centre)
And IE7 is giving me oldest first whereas I've requested newest first in my options, so presumably IE7 and Max are keeping completely separate cookies in the same store, but they are somehow interacting !
