Everything went fine with my install on a machine running VMWare workstation 6.5.2 build-156735. Little buggy when I connected using IE 8.0.6001.1872 to perform the initial config. When I was adding the hostname and setting the admin passwords, the txt boxes kept jumping around the screen. I kept having to redirect my curser back into the txt box to complete the initial setup. Since that initial setup, I have not experienced the txt boxes jumping around. Oops spoke to soon. Went to log back into the webmin and the login box drops to the bottom of my screen when I start entering logon information. No problem with firefox and logging in with webmin.

I can confirm this as well running IE8 on both XP and Win7 RC. The password box on the login screen seems to jump further down on each of the first 3-5 keystrokes, then things pop back to where they should be when you hit enter.
Running the webadmin site in compatibility mode seems to fix the glitches. If you can't track down what is causing this bizarre behavior a quick bandage would be to add the following tag to the page headers directly after the title tag. It tells IE8 to run in compatibility mode without the user having to switch it manually.
This happens in 7.401 as well. Both on my system at home and on our company system in us and Germany. So this is an IE 8 issue. But maybe its something they can fix. It looks fine ( the login boxes) until you start to imput text.
Micro$oft claims that this is not a bug, it's a feature [8-)]

Added the url to the compatibility mode. Appears to have worked.
I had to do the same thing, IE 8 after each letter / number the login box would drop down the screen. As others are stating, this is not a Astaro issue, but another Micro$oft "feature".
