Hi rob...
You are right it is caused by poor programming, but not in the web
pages... it's an IE8 bug!! (IE7 works fine in this issue, also any
other browser in the market...)
I was fighting with this problem... and in my case, it lies in any web
page where a javascript add this: document.attachEvent('onmouseup',
do_something);
Then IE8 gets lazy and don't know how to manage so difficult task
(ironic)... a document event...
It's funny... how can you tell "poor programming" when, we
(developers) have to program with non-standards and tricks to get IE
works...
