Version 1.5.6 is un-usable at least for me.I just upgraded from 1.5.5, and 1.5.6 cueass major formatting problems in Safari 5.14, Firefox 11, Chrome 17, and Opera 11.61 all up-to-date as of this writing. (My system: Mac Pro 8-core, 16 GB RAM, Mac OS 10.6.8); these problems also occur in Firefox 10 and IE 8 on Windows XP.I'm using a child theme of Brunelleschi, which includes some CSS modifications and a functions.php file to change the height of the header image. For the purposes of this post, I'm assuming these changes aren't causing the problems they were all done according to instructions from Kit.Version 1.5.5 did hot have these problems on any of the above configurations, or in Explorer 9 or Firefox 10 in Windows 7.However, 1.5.5 and earlier versions caused IE8 on Windows XP to crash before the page loaded a serious problem given that according to the browser statistics at w3schools.com, IE8 is the most widely used version of IE, with nearly double the users of IE 9. (I don't have a Windows machine, but the problem reports are from reliable sources.)None of these problems occur with the default Twenty Eleven theme, or the Coraline theme.The formatting problems include the following: The drop down menus don't appear as menus at all each menu item appears in a long thin rectangle, and there's no sidebar the sidebar content is at the bottom of the page above the footer. The formatting of proudly powered by WordPress' is gone it's just plain default text, left-justified, directly under the site name/home page link.Also: there appears to be a significant javascript problem in this theme, which occurred in 1.5.5 and earlier versions (I jumped in around version 1.5): I have an audio player on my site with a volume slider which pops up upon hover. As you move the cursor close to the slider's handle, the handle jiggles and jumps down toward the cursor before you've actually clicked on it which makes it harder to use. This does not happen with the Twenty Eleven or Coraline themes the slider operates smoothly and the handle does not move until you click on it.I may have to switch to another theme, which would be disappointing since I spent a lot of time customizing Brunelleschi. But even 1.5.5 was a deal-breaker due to incompatibility with IE8. I'll just chalk it up to the learning curve.Hopefully these problems can be resolved soon. Please let me know if you need more info to troubleshoot.
