My first Internet Explorer 8 bug!

Oh Microsoft, will you ever learn? Only one day after downloading Internet Explorer 8, I ran into my first bug. And it’s not even tricky! It’s just something that should obviously be fine. (Watch, someone will point out my error now that I’ve said that!)

It’s on my political blog, The Politimat, and it’s just a paragraph next to a floated image. On all other browsers it looks correct. But on IE8 there’s blank line for some reason. I double checked my code, ran it through the W3C’s HTML Validation Service and everything comes up fine.

If anyone can see what’s causing this please inform me, but I kind of think since it shows up correctly on all other browsers, it validates, and it’s just plain obvious what should be happening, that it’s a bug in IE8. We’ll see.
