Ok,

So problem here... when using list-style-position:inside in IE8 the first like is indented but every line after that is not. So the new lines appear under the bullet.

This is fine, but when I use a list with that css applied with an a tag within the li then the text automatically gets pushed to the second line, and the first line is empty.

ie8 bug

When I remove the a tag from the li then it jumps back up.

Any idea on why this might be or is this a bug in the ie8 world or do I just need to double check my css?

Any insights would be much appreciated.
