This problem was noticed on certain amazon.com pages, but I hacked the source
down to a small example that demonstartes the problem.
When an input feild is in a table and these is a style setting for both the
table and the input feild, the input feild is rendered too small (vertically) to
even see the entered text. It is functional if you care to type "blind"
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Load this page:
<html>
<head>
<title>Amazon.com Checkout Sign In</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
TD, TH { font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small; }
INPUT { font-family: fixed; }
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<br>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="90%" align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<form action="" method="post" onsubmit="">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" align="center"
width="100%">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="4">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>
<input name="email" type="text"
size="30" maxlength="64">
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Actual Results:
Input field is much too small vertically for the font it contains
Expected Results:
?? Not sure either render the field larger, or use a smaller font

This test case is a much simplified version of a login page found on Amazon

I've seen this forever, though I never got around to actually searching for the
bug. Did a quick search for dups, found nothing. I'm pretty sure this would be
a dup though. Confirming. Transferring to Layout: Form Controls.

Is this only a problem on Windows with the "native" form controls? I don't see
this bug on Linux....

I'm running under windows 2000, Mozilla reports "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U;
Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040126" and the symptom is clearly
there. When I type in the field, no characters are visible because the edit
field is not high enough to see the text.

Andy, this works for me in recent Mozilla 1.7b builds on winxp. Can you still
reproduce this?

I'm still seeing the problem on win2k with 20040409. I've checked with a few
friends that have xp and they don't see the issue so my guess is that it doesn't
effect xp.

I have only been testing under Win2K, so I never did reproduce it there

Still seeing with Win98 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8a)
Gecko/20040420 and also my usual Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.6)
Gecko/20040207 Firebird/0.7+). Minimal test case attached: all it takes is a
text input with font-family: fixed, no table or inherited styles required.
Increase the text size six times with Ctrl-+ and the text becomes visible.
For whatever the affected population is, this really is a topsites bug: you can
shop Amazon normally, but try to sign in to purchase, and you have invisible
inputs for your login information.

This is a combination of a buggy font and Amazon sending different styles to IE
and Mozilla....
