      Description

      In the IE browsers CSS rules set in the theme are overwritten by the YUI CSS for the custom menu.

      You can see this bug in the "Fusion" Moodle 2 theme when you compare the menu in IE and for example Firefox.

      I tried to understand what happens but have had no luck. My guess is that the YUI CSS which is "lazy loaded" for the menu after the theme CSS is not correctly handled by IE. The link is placed before the theme CSS links but the CSS is rendered after the theme CSS overwriting the rules.

      I did not confirm but I guess the bug not only influences the custom menu but all "lazy loaded" YUI CSS in Moodle 2.

      The custom menu is not usable with this bug, therefore I have set the priority to critical.
