45750 - Font-family attribute in CSS effects witdth of input fields

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Kristoffer Schultz]

It seems that setting a font in a CSS on the <INPUT> tag has an effect on the 
size of input fields.

Example:

<html>
<body>
<style>
input.settingfont
{
font-family: verdana; arial
}
</style>

<input type="text" size="10" name="Test1">

<br>

<input class="settingfont" size="10" type="text" name="Test2">

</body>
</html>

These two input fields differs quite a lot in width, although the only 
difference is the font-family attribute set in the CSS.

Doesn't sound like a bug to me.  The input box has to be big enough to contain
ten capital M characters.  When you specify a variabl-width font for the input,
the width is going to be bigger than the same-size character cell font.

Not a bug, Mozilla functions properly.
