      Description

      In IE9+, you can enable what is called "Compatibility View" to allow the browser to render old web sites...

      Nuxeo might be deployed in an environment where sys admins lock their IE with "Compatibility View" enabled. This causes IE to interpret Nuxeo UI in IE7 compatibility by default.

      This breaks completely the UI because we use javascript frameworks, css styles, etc which are definitely not compatible with IE7.

      To fix this, we must specify a meta for IE in http response

      X-UA-Compatible="IE=Edge,chrome=1"

      this will force IE to be at the highest possible IE version compatibility
