128115 - button tag does not handle height correctly

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P2)

Description

[Jon Hall]

The button tag displays height incorrectly. Not only is the actual display
height incorrectly, it ignores height up until 9px, then at 9px height it gets
smaller than at 8px. Also input type=button seems so be unable to display a
height lower than 8px, although input's seem to behave a little more correctly
if quirky. Every button height up to 22px in a nice grid at the below url.

This seems related to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97347 but it
deals with input type=submit only, so I believe this is a seperate issue since
the two tags are exhibiting different behavior.

Attachment: better testcase

This one avoids asking something with 4px of border to be 1px tall (including
the border).
