The problem exhibit itself when not logged in to google (at the upper right corner of the site) and using an international google domain name like google.ca and google.de.

I still see this on google.ca. I tried google.de and see this also.
The cursor is not centered in the search box.

The page is not the same on google.com where it shows the same page whether I'm logged in to google or not.

I propose leaving this bug open, because the problem is still there.
Maybe updating the bug name to give an idea of the visual bug and its condition would be a good idea also.

I propose something along the lines of "Cursor not centered in search box on unlogged Google.(international domain"
