I am sure there is similar bug , but I am unable to locate it. 

1st scenario:
=============
steps to reproduce:
1. go to http://travel.excite.com/ . the browser window should be maximised.
2. click on the input text form-controls.

actual:
you will see that  the cursor is showing on the left hand side outside the 
textbox control. (see screenshot 1)

expected:
the input-text form-control should display the cursor within the textbox upon 
focus.

2nd scenario :
==============
if I resize the browser window (see attached screenshot 2), and then give focus 
to the text box by clicking withtin the control, I see the cursor is displayed 
within the control. Even the page layout looks different.

Madhur this looks like bug 75080 to me.  Also similar to this is bug 55086. 
They look like the same at first, but 75080 corrects itself on typing into the
form.  55086 does not.

This bug is not the same as 55086.
It is definitly a duplicate of bug 75080 , but since that has been marked as a 
duplicate of 55086 --- i am going ahead and reopening this bug.

bug 55086 --- involves collapsing rows on a table.
whereas, this particular bug says --- the cursor is dispalyed outside the 
form-control [input text].

re-opening bug.

Sometimes there is a problem with a cursor inside a textbox like the mail
composer.  Sometimes when I hit tab the cursor stays blinking where it is until
I type something, then jumps to where it should be.

Sometimes the problem doesn't correct itself when you type something.  In
my.yahoo.com I have a list of stocks on the left.  If I scroll the page down and
type in the 'get quote' text field on the bottom, the text appears above, way
outside the text field.  This is if I scroll using the scroll bar or the mouse
wheel.  bug 55086 (how do you make those magic links?) deals with text the
corrects itself to the right place.
