Display of large images broken with IE 11

Internet Explorer 11 has problems showing large images like the Louvre or the Orion nebula from the demo images: neither the image nor the navigation window are visible. Changing the size with Ctrl-+ or Ctrl-- fixes the display.

I just tested this using IE11 on Win 8.1 (via the VirtualBox builds available at modern.ie) and it seems to work fine. What exact Windows version and configuration are you using? And IE11 has a set of developer tools. Are there any errors when you load the demo?

modern.ie is really nice. I did not know it before, but used it now to generate a screenshot of the Louve image with IE 11. Here it is. It is clearly buggy, although I get a different display. While producing this snapshot, I noticed that resizing of the browser window improves the display (navigation window becomes visible, centered image visible but with wrong size).

My IE 11 runs on Windows 7. The developer console does not show any errors.

This page shows the Orion nebula with IE 11 on Windows 10, produced by the snapshot function of modern.ie. Here the centered image is visible, but too small. The navigation window is visible. This is what I get after a resize or a rescale operation.

Strangely, although the BrowerStack screenshots show bugs, these don't seem to occur when using the VirtualBox IE11 builds.
