Actually, I see VE is broken in Chrome too - so the issue is not specific to IE.

Looks okay to me. You have the "Fixed header" beta feature enabled, I guess VE isn't compatible with it. (You also have "Compact personal bar", but that isn't problematic AFAIK.)

Yes, unchecking 'Fixed header' makes VE be back to normal. Should be there some warning to VE users?

reopening: what's invalid here? (tasktitle had been changed to reflect incompatibility)

Thought that since it's by design - not an issue/bug.

(Now abandoned) Tools not designed to work with VE don't work with VE.
