Issue with IE9 and Dynamics CRM 2011 when zooming is <100%

I almost got crazy while trying to add a new tab or section in a form in Dynamics CRM 2011 and didn’t find the option.

This seems to be an issue with Internet Explorer 9 when zooming is <100%, in particular in my case, 95%. I’m using Dynamics CRM 2011 RTM + IE9 RTM.

Randomly ‘Insert’ ribbon bar disappears or just appears cut off. Once clicked I couldn’t find the way to get back ‘Home’ ribbon :( .

Also, couldn’t even save the form!!.

It also seems to happen in other CRM ribbons..

After setting Zoom = 100 % in IE9 I could work properly with the ribbon.

Just be careful with that as I guess I am not the only one who sometimes presses Ctrl+mouse wheel to gain some screen size :)

Hope it helps to save somebody else's  time.

  • That helped us a lot. Thanks for sharing.

  • I cam across this article looking for an answer to somewhat different question:

    Why is the search bar so slow in taking the characters that I just typed.

    I found that they too had a Zoom of 95% (and the same tab issue). Once the zoom was 100% everything worked fine.

  • thanks for the useful info!
    Do you know if this issue has been reported to Microsoft as a bug?
