230620 - Text within input fields is rendered below the input field

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

After opening this site, placing the focus inside one of the both input fields
and writing some letters you can see that the text is rendered outside the box.
Tested with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7a)
Gecko/20040110 Firebird/0.8.0+ (mozJF). Same effect with SeaMonkey so placing it
here.

For regression the last working version I have is Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U;
Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040107 Firebird/0.7+ (MozJF)

works in 2004010708
fails in yesterday-ish cvs build

going to try to back out bug 229583 which henrik suspected as the cause

Attachment: Testcase for wrong rendering

Removing "div { position: absolute; }" or using another mode like relative
removes the problem. 

Seams like a bug within the CSS engine.

Oddly enough (my first thought was layout, not css), I bet the problem is in
fact a regression from bug 64116.  We're probably applying that style to the
anonymous div.
