FadeTo and Hide aren't very stylish
When I call FadeTo or Hide, the font styling on my elements seems to get lost. This happens with both 1.3.2 and 1.4.1 on IE8, running IIS6 on my local Windows machine. The attachment illustrates the problem. Click the Hide/Show button to toggle between the states. With minor and obvious modifications in the source code you can switch back and forth between the FadeTo and Hide/Show techniques. Both are set to happen slowly, so that you can see that the problem begins immediately as soon as the function is called. The font style on the screen visibly changes, and remains corrupted afterwards as you toggle back and forth. My own classes on the elements, linked to the embedded CSS, remain unchanged througout the scenario.
The attachment is named test.txt because, of all things, this site doesn't seem to allow htm files to be attached. Rename it to test.htm (you will also have to adjust the path to your jquery file) and give it a run.
I'm a noob, so I fully expect that there's a simple explanation for this. I look forward to it.
Thanks,
