[Sam Ellis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030429 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030429 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

This appears on Firebird and Mozilla.
Positive and negative text-indents on elements get inherited to text inputs
inside them

Workaround - set text-indent: 0; for input fields

specs: As far as I understand the W3C specs (limited) text-indent is only
applied to block level elements, and as far as I am aware, input elements are
inline, so should not have inherited it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. view web page
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
see file

Expected Results:  
left text-indent as 0
