This is an issue that our engineers have been working on but the problem is still present for some users. It is not consistent in who it effects, the problem always occurs when using IE but it happens with different versions for different users.
Any details that you can post about your specific browser may help us to get this resolved quicker. The alternative as you mentioned is to use a different browser but it is understandable that you would prefer to use the same browser you use for surfing the net.
