I am experiencing this on the latest dev version (1st of November). I did not see this problem on the stable version. The front page content, site title, blocks all get placed to the very far left side (I am running a RTL site). They all are placed outside page width. The site appears fine upon pressing F5 and refreshing the page.

I must inform that the site appears fine up to the loading of simplemenu at top of page. Once simplemenu loads all the layout gets messed up. Again, upon refreshing the page all things appears as they should.

The problem is seen on IE 6 (don't know about 7 or 8). Firefox, chrome show no problem.

I am using these modules (that migh be relevant here):

Taxonomy menu - 6.x-2.4-beta3
Taxonomy VTN - 6.x-1.4
SimpleMenu - 6.x-1.2

Any changes in the latest dev that might explain this?!

Can I get a screen shot of how it should look vs what it looks like? HTML output of the page using the latest dev & stable as well.

Is this for logged in or anonymous viewing? Any boost blocks loaded on the page?

This is the latest tweak that might have effected it, assuming it's only effecting logged in users.

I had more time now to test this. The problem is seen on both versions: the latest dev version & the stable one 6.x-1.13. It has nothing to do with Boost blocks being on or off. I have seen the problem only in IE 6. It occurs when visiting the front page as anonymous (upon first load of page), pressing F5 the page loads again with no layout problems. Moreover, the front page appears perfectly fine if viewed after viewing any node page on site. Very strange.

The problem has nothing to do with simplemenu (as I have replicated the problem with this module disables).

Correction: the site title appears where it should, it's the blocks & content that appear way far to the left.. There is just a huge and empty light blue space under the site title (I am using Garland default color settings). The content is pushed to the far left (almost all way beyond what one can see, that's without scrolling to left).

Maybe this module needs some RTL adjustment,

Sorry for the inaccurate information posted on first post.

Can I get your html output, one with boost installed (on the problem page), one without boost installed (on the page that normally give the error)? Or at a very minimum a diff of the html between the 2 versions.

Try disabling "Asynchronous Operation: output HTML, close connection, then store static file." under Boost advanced settings.

Here are the only differences:

Noraml:

  </body>
</html>

Boost on:

  <iframe src="/boost-gzip-cookie-test.html" style="width:0px; height:0px; border: 0px"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
<!-- Page cached by Boost @ 2009-11-02 06:12:17, expires @ 2009-11-04 06:12:17 -->

I have set Gzip compression to off in Boost settings since my server doesn't support it.

Disabling "Asynchronous Operation: output HTML, close connection, then store static file." does not help.

Disable "Aggressive Gzip: Deliver gzipped content independent of the request header."

Patch for that setting, so it's smarter.

very minor fixes for some other things involving running with gzip disabled.

Might want to try and set it with position absolute or something like that to get it off the normal layout and have it float.
