JQgrid not sizing properly in IE8

Question

For some reason I cannot seem to get IE8 to display my jqgrid right as you can see below. This isn't the only grid that doesn't display properly. I have another one in my project that renders just like the one below :(. Needless to say, I tried all sort of column widths, tried turning the scrollbars off etc etc. but nothing seems to improve the situation.

Am I missing something obvious ?

I am using the very latest JQgrid version 3.8.

Mostly the problem exist in CSS which you use (for example standard CSS generated by ASP.MVC MVC). Different web browsers interpret CSS inheritance differently. Look at this answer and this. Probably the usage of increased cellLayout parameter or the function fixGridWidth inside of loadComplete could solve your problem.
