the problem is that the style width is specified to be smaller than it needs to
be to accomodate the size attribute.  Hitting the button causes a reflow and
the table shrink wraps to the style width instead of the actual size of the
input (this is probably how it should have been drawn in the first place).  The
problem is that the button is no longer displayed.

Not going to work on this anytime soon unless there is a topsite.

I got a somewhat diferent problem with the "browse" button and the "width" css
attribute. In my test the file button would appear in the middle of the entry
field. I will try to reproduce the problem in a simple html and attach it.

this is WFM using:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a6pre) Gecko/20070622 ID:2007062204

though there are some optical glitches comparing e.g. to MSIE 7

-> WORKSFORME

xtc4uall: the testcase from comment 4 looked OK to me.  If you see any remaining issues, please file a new bug
