Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.go to any site that is using vBulletin 2.Go to the posting new message page 3.Look at the box there Actual Results: The box is too small Expected Results: should have displayed the box correctly (bigger) like IE

Attached image how it looks in mozilla
Are IE and mozilla using the same font for that textarea? Is there an account that can be used to test this site?
yep.. both fonts are the same.. a test account is : username : testmozilla password : mozilla
The textarea has cols="50" but uses a variable-width font, so char widths are undefined.... We _do_ size smaller than IE, and in fact can only fit 46 copies of "0" (zero) into the textarea. Not sure what should be done here (other than asking the page author to not expect fixed-width layout out of variable-width fonts)...

Yes, there is just no way to size exactly like IE without their algorithm. Marking won't fix.. this could be reopened and assigned to evangelism
