Description Tim Buschtoens

The glow (shadow) the widget gets when focused somehow breaks the border in IE8. The attachment shows IE9 on the left and IE8 on the right.

Fixed in CVS HEAD.

The problem was that a widget with a shadow, but a non-rounded border can not work correctly in IE8 since the shadow is a vml-shape thats inside the element that has the border. The border has to be drawn inside the widget using also a vml-shape. Now, if the appearance sets a shadow together with a non rounded border, the border is changed into a rounded border with radii 0 0 0 0. However, this also means complex border (inset, etc) wont't work together with shadows anymore.
