Internet Explorer 8, width of menu items to small

[wora]

In IE8 (and IE8 compatibility mode) the width of my menu items is fixed (and too small); in Opera or FF the width adapts to the length of the text.
Is there anything I can do, to have a fitting length in IE also?

PS: My typical code for a menu element:
------------

{
	text: 'Auswertungen',
	menu: new Ext.menu.Menu({
		id: 'main_stat',
		text: 'Auswert',
		items: [ actionVergleich('vergleich_pp'),
			actionVergleich_subid('vergleich_subid'),
			actionVergleich_domain('vergleich_domain'),
			actionErfolgeAnzeigen('erfolge_monat'),
			actionPartnerMonatsUebersichtAnzeigen
		]
	})
},

------------

are you using version 2.3?
or you may need this

 	Ext.override(Ext.menu.Menu, { 
	 	        autoWidth : function(){ 
	 	                var ua = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase(); 
	 	                var isIE8 = !Ext.isOpera && ua.indexOf("msie 8") > -1; 
	 	                var el = this.el, ul = this.ul; 
	 	                if(!el){ 
	 	                        return; 
	 	                } 
	 	                var w = this.width; 
	 	                if(w){ 
	 	                        el.setWidth(w); 
	 	                }else if(Ext.isIE && !isIE8){ 
	 	                        el.setWidth(this.minWidth); 
	 	                        var t = el.dom.offsetWidth; // force recalc 
	 	                        el.setWidth(ul.getWidth()+el.getFrameWidth("lr")); 
	 	                } 
	 	        } 
	 });

or upgrade your ext js version if you want.

I'm still working with 2.2.1.
I tried your fix (it helped, of course) and will later switch to 2.3

Thanks a lot
