Hi,
I've fixed this in http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-8907
Sorin when you will test 5.2M2 would be great if you could check it out.
Thanks,
Caty

Clemens,
Manually switching to the proper IE standards mode is a quick fix, but I
don't think it will solve your problem completely. You may have to switch
it out of Quirks mode again and again in the future. Pre IE10 versions will
render pages in Quirks mode for many reasons (see
http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/ie-mode.pdf). For instance, if there is an
xml declaration before the doctype, it will goes straight to Quirks mode.
XWiki does just that:
<!-- ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ? -->
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
I found a fix in a sample config file provided by HTML5 Boilerplate (
http://html5boilerplate.com/). This fix ensures all IE (<10) who navigate
to your wiki, will see pages rendered with the proper IE Standards mode.
If you are using Apache HTTP, you can drop this snippet in your Apache
config file, create an .htaccess file, or create a .conf file with this
snippet in the conf.d folder (preferable method):
#

# Force IE to render pages in the highest available mode in the various
# cases when it may not: http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/ie-mode.pdf.
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header set X-UA-Compatible "IE=edge"
# `mod_headers` can't match based on the content-type, however, we only
# want to send this header for HTML pages and not for the other
resources
<FilesMatch
"\.(appcache|crx|css|eot|gif|htc|ico|jpe?g|js|m4a|m4v|manifest|mp4|oex|oga|ogg|ogv|otf|pdf|png|safariextz|svgz?|ttf|vcf|webapp|webm|webp|woff|xml|xpi)$">
Header unset X-UA-Compatible
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
If you're using Nginx or something else, HTML5 Boilerplate provides config
examples for other server types here: https://github.com/h5bp
Best,
Dan

is enabled.
Ahem, cough, cough, that was actually the cause of my problems :-/
IE8 is supported by XWiki 4 and 5, so contributions are more than
welcomed.
Before reporting an issue or making a pull
request, please check
http://jira.xwiki.org if they have not been already reported.
In case I really start working on something I will better check the issue
tracker before ...
however for now everything looks ok from here.
Thanks,
Clemens
