This regressed in the first half of 2006.

.logInInput {
height:17px;
width:105px;
}
<input id="login" class="logInInput" name="login"/>

^^ That's the code that produces this problem, if you remove the "height:17px" (or make the font bigger) the problem disappears. IE though displays it fine...

On Linux, this regressed when natively themed form controls landed.  Does using "-moz-appearance:none" on the control fix the problem on Windows?  It certainly helps on Mac, though not all the way.

For mac, this is bug 403558, but the Windows issue might want a separate bug to see what happened in 2006 there.
