User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; en) Opera 8.51

If you have a form with <input type="hidden" elements and a CSS style such as

input {
  width: 85px;
  border: 1px #cccccc solid;
  display: block;
}

A border is added around the hidden field and it's width is set to the specified width. Hidden inputs should act as if they have visible: hidden.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a page with <input type="hidden"> somewhere.
2. Use the css input { width: 85px; border: 1px #cccccc solid; display: block; }

Actual Results:  
Input is set to the width and has a border.

Expected Results:  
Input should be invisible

Workaround is to add style='display: none' to input or use

input[type="hidden"] { display: none; }
