Thread:Extension talk:WYSIWYG/IE8 Compatibility View mode breaks the editor

When using the WYSIWYG editor in IE8 Compatibility mode, I run into two problems:
 * 1) I am unable to save edits to an article. Both the editor's Save and Exit buttons do nothing, nor does the standard Save page button at the bottom of the page. The classic editor works fine. On Firefox 14.0.1 the Rich editor works fine.
 * 2) Also the toolbar doesn't fit on a single 'line' (this may be caused by my desktop using a 125% zoom setting for readability). The toolbar not fitting on a single line causes the edit pane to extend under the toolbars. You can actually see the cursor move underneath the toolbar icons when moving around.

Compatibility mode is enforced for all our intranet sites and it seems impossible to disable it for a single intranet website.

Especially finding a solution to the first issue will help me a lot. Has anyone been able to solve it? ---
