Sorin when you will test 5.2M2 would be great if you could check it out.
 Thanks,

  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:

 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
