Description

[Michael D. Adams]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021001

A textbox with the type set to autocomplete is rendered differently than one 
without.  Specifily it is two pixels shorter.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Load the following XUL file:

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://communicator/skin/" type="text/css"?>
<window xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul">
<textbox type="autocomplete" />
<textbox />
</window>

Actual Results:  
The first text box will be two pixels shorter than the other one when the 
classic skin is active.  Also farthest left position of the cursor is about 
three pixels farther right in the first text box.


Expected Results:  
Both text boxes should be displayed exactly the same

This is a screen shot of the following XUL file in the classic skin:

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://communicator/skin/" type="text/css"?>

<window xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul">
<textbox type="autocomplete" /> 
<textbox /> 
</window>

Not a problem in the modern skin, -> themes

Attachment: Patch that resolves this issue but raises another one

This is a diff on the file chrome/classic/skin/classic/global/autocomplete.css.
 However it causes/reveals another bug.  When these changes have been made the
example XUL file renders correctly, but the address bar inside the mozzila
browser is now to large by two pixels.

Attachment: Screen shot of the new issue that happens when the patch is added

This screen shot displays the issue that happens when the patch is applied.  I
believe this is particular to the presence of either the icon on the left or
the button on the right.  I believe the patch is still correct and has simply
made the precence of another bug apparent.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but still has no comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project 5 years ago.

Because of this, we're resolving the bug as EXPIRED.

If you still can reproduce the bug on SeaMonkey 2 or otherwise think it's still valid, please REOPEN it and if it is a platform or toolkit issue, move it to the according component.
