added a comment - Unfortunatelly for me there is no chance, I need to downgrade as well. It is irritating for our developers and we cannot change the browser.
It would be great to have this fixed soon.

It would be great to have this fixed soon. Which versions of IE are affected by this? Is it just IE6 (????) and IE8?

added a comment - We are using IE8.0.7601* Let me rephrase: Is anyone experiencing this problem on a supported version of IE, or can this be resolved as Won't Fix?

added a comment - I'm confused by these comments. This issue is due the Web Control being used, not the user's installed version of IE, correct? Or am I missing something? We are using IE 11 and have this same issue - very irritating.

There are known issues with the Jenkins UI when you're using IE in a non-default document mode.

Make sure your IE isn't configured to use a non-default document mode for Jenkins (e.g. using an intranet-wide policy accommodating your broken intranet sites). Only if this is really not the case, it may be a possible bug.

added a comment - Yes, I understand that and no, none of my staff are using a non-default Document Mode, but we all get this error message.

added a comment - My apologies, I think I'm getting confused. The issue we are having is with the Jenkins plugin for Git Extensions. The person helping me with that issue directed me here, and just realized that this is for using Jenkins directly via a browser and not the plugin for Git Extensions.

Internet Explorer versions older than IE 9 are not supported in current Jenkins releases.

One quick workaround is to use IP address instead of DNS name. In my case, DNS name is marked as intranet site and intranet site are required to show in compatibility modes as a group policy. Refering to IP address instead of DNS name solved the issue, although there could be a better way.
Searched a bit on the subject. File layout.jelly contains <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge"/> which should override compatibility mode in some cases. I also tried adding the following before <html> tag
<j:if test="${isMSIE}">
<st:setHeader name="X-UA-Compatible" value="IE=Edge" />
</j:if>
as Microsoft recommended adding a header with the same values to enforce view policy before page rendering (cf http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff955275%28v=vs.85%29.aspx)
Hope this helps
