Hello
Ingemar,
I am afraid that the only way to overcome that problem is to update. I understand that it is not an option in your case. My advice is to use the developer tool of the chrome browser and investigate the html of the element and try to apply some rules to it.
In case that you could reproduce the problem in other browser e.g. FF(latest version), IE, please send me sample which I could debug and I will try to fix the appearance issue.
Regards,
