IE zoom features upsets simple HTML sent from asp.net

Some simple HTML is being wrongly displayed in Internet Explorer when the user has a Zoom other than 100%

I have a large web site with 230+ web pages, written in asp.net
About 10 pages are for the end user, the rest are for back end internal staff.
I intentionally keep things simple on the HTML side.
In particular, I write data out in tables so that they will display properly in "Right to Left" languages.
E.g. the code snippet below just shows the logo, a vertical bar then the word "login" or "connexion" in French.
This is displayed correctly in English and in reverse order on RTL languages.

Everything is fine except for a group of users who use the Zoom feature of Internet Explorer.

Often the word login uderlays the Logo - see the 2 attached images.

Below is the CSS
