This only occurs once - the first time you click in the text entry widget on the
Search sidebar after you run Mozilla. It seems we are getting the size of the
widget wrong.

nsbeta2-. Please take off the minus if this renders the search button unusable

I can press the search button, but it does not work. Checking if this is another
bug.

per phil's 5-19 comment removing nsbeta2-, so you guys can make the call with all the info.

The text field extends such that it obscures about 80% of the button. For the button to work one must click
on either the top or bottom slivers of the button that are still clearly visible. I predict that no end user will do/know this.

Putting on [nsbeta2+] radar for beta2 fix.

Steve, can you do this for Matt?

This looks like some toolkit style problem. If I change the textfield to use
class="plain" then it doesn't have the problem. It appears the the textfield
styles are broken for the case with no class attribute set.

Who does textfield widget styles?

yeah it's fixed in 2000060609 builds all around. This was always more of an editor bug than anything else I think. So its not 
surprising it'd get fixed w/o our knowledge.
