Sounds (and looks) like a variation of the peekaboo bug. Google for it.

You are also running into some of IE's "broken box model" bugs. At one stage
I saw the entire left column *below* the centre content column, and at
random.

These seemingly random events are sympomatic of both the broken box model
and the peekaboo bug. Change anything, the font size, the canvas size (by as
much as 1 pixel), refresh the page, even a simple scroll, the symptoms
change.
