Bug #71678	Interface issues with IE9 Compat View

Description:
When using MEM with MSIE 9 on Windows 7 the interface didn't load completely and was not usable.

The developer tools (F12) showed:
Browser Mode: IE9 Compat View
Document Mode: IE7 standards

Then I switched to:
Browser Mode: IE9
Document Mode: IE9 standards

How to repeat:
Load MEM with MSIE 9. It might be that the compatibility view is loaded because the site is on an intrnal hostname.

Suggested fix:
Somehow force IE9 mode or give a warning if in compat mode. Otherwise add a note to the documentation.

Looking at the source of the webpage it already tries to force IE in Edge mode.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
  <!-- Always force latest IE rendering engine (even in intranet) & Chrome Frame
       Remove this if you use the .htaccess -->
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
-------------------------------------------------------------------

My Compatibility View Settings:
Websites you've added to Compatibility View: None
Include updated website lists from Microsoft: Not selected
Display intranet sites in Compatibility View: Selected
Display all websites in Compatibility View: Not selected

So 'display intranet sites in compatibility view' seems to be the setting which triggers this.

Hello Daniel,

Thank you for the bug report!

Thanks,
Umesh
