Support Request: IE8 compatibility view setting in skcfg file works backward
Reproduction
<ie8-compatibility-view enabled="false"/> causes web pages to display the same as the regular IE8 browser when is compatibility mode and vice vresa.
Running Windows 7 and IE8. I find that the <ie8-compatibility-view enabled="true"/> setting in skcfg file works backward.
I have tried it in all of our kiosks running 7.8.328.
To emphasize my point, on
http://mypublichotspot.com/en-US/CustomerSupportCenter/ArticleDetails.aspx?ArticleID=9701
it states that to activate the “IE compatibility view” for SiteKiosk (Add registry entry SiteKiosk.exe” and the hex value “22b8”)
On
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2009/03/10/more-ie8-extensibility-improvements.aspx it states that to make a “forced” IE8 Standards Mode value, set the registry value to 0x22B8.
Standards mode is the opposite of compatibility view.
Based on this discrepancy, It suggests that <ie8-compatibility-view enabled="true"/> would work in reverse.
I reported this bug earlier, but we did not come to a resolution. I have been using this setting with the opposite value from what I need to have and it works for me.
