The cursor rides high in the "TO:" field when composing a message in yahoo mail window. The text also appears to be a different size. Might this be specific to my computer?? If so, how do I correct it?

Can you attach a screen shot of the problem to this bug, too, please?

Does a fresh Camino profile fix matters?

Attachment: screen shot of bug in Yahoo mail fields

swapping font types and sizes did not affect bug!

[froodian (Ian Leue)]

The fixed font size is filed, IRC (though I couldn't find it).  Is it possible that the misalignment is a side-affect of that?

Comment 4

[Stephen Vajda]

What's the fixed font? I have all fonts set for Helvetica Neue 14pt. And the minimum font size set at 12pt. The mis-alignment is definitely a function of some font decision, but what?

Comment 5

[Chris Lawson (gone)]

Why do you have a variable-width font set as your monospaced font?

Not that I particularly think that's why, just wondering...

This is INVALID (it's a site bug), since the To field is not an input, but rather a textarea with overflow.  At certain "small-enough" font sizes, the text will be off-center (since textareas--like this comment field--are multiline and expand to accomodate text, and the number of lines that fit in a given vertical height varies depending on font size).

Put another way, Yahoo expects us all to use a certain font at a certain font size for that field in order for it to look "just right", but they didn't actually specify all (or the correct) HTML/CSS code to require us to do so....
