When I <INPUT TYPE=text NAME=f1 SIZE=2 MAXWIDTH=2 VALUE="AB">, I get a field
that is apparently 0 chars longs.  When I change to SIZE=50, I get approx 5
characters long.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
<HTML><BODY><FORM NAME=a ACTION=a.cgi METHOD=post><INPUT TYPE=text NAME=f1
SIZE=2 MAXWIDTH=2 VALUE="AB"></FORM></BODY></HTML>

Actual Results:  
Mozilla displays a field that is too thin to see the value.

Expected Results:  
It should have displayed a field that was 2 characters wide.
This is happening because you're tripping over another bug regarding your use of
maxwidth, which is invalid -- there is no "maxwidth" property for INPUT tags in
HTML.  (The attribute you want is "maxlength".)
