User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.2.14) Gecko/20110218 Firefox/3.6.14
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.2.14) Gecko/20110218 Firefox/3.6.14

Example:

If you create a search text input box with a height of 26px and a font size of 12px, when you first click on the text input box (onfocus) the cursor will flash at 26px high.

Once you start typing text into the box, the cursor size will correctly change to 12px high.

(Safari works correctly)

Steps to Reproduce:

3.
Actual Results:

Expected Results:  
The cursor size should always be the same as the font size set, not the height of the input box.

I think this is fixed in Firefox 4 beta 12.  Can you confirm please?

Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply.

If you mean can I test Firefox 4 beta 12, then no, I'm not able to.

I have just tried d/loading it, but apparently FF4 is for Intel Macs only ('Not supported on this architecture') - I'm running PPC, OSX 10.5.8

Sorry, I didn't notice you're on PPC Mac.
I tested this in a trunk build on an Intel Mac and it worked fine.
Thanks for your report.

-> WORKSFORME (probably fixed by bug 389321)
