Bug 59825 – Respect fixed text-indent on ::-webkit-input-placeholder

• Component: Forms
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Joseph Pecoraro]

It would be nice if users could specify some text-indent on placeholders.
I don't think it makes much sense to do percentages, but I can add that
if desired as well.

[PATCH] Handle fixed text-indent for placeholders

I haven't tested the tolerance level of the png. I may need to make the
inputs larger, or add more (for instance test <input type="search">
as well).

This doesn't handle percentages, because I think while we are already
doing limited styling it seems like unnecessary work. But I can attempt
that if desired.

Increasing the font-size causes the diff to be 0.65% which
is over the default tolerance. Image diff to follow.

Shouldn't you test the RTL code in the layout test too?

Doh, I should. I totally meant to and forgot. Thanks
for pointing it out. I'll be making another patch.

[PATCH] Handle fixed text-indent for placeholders (tests rtl)

Add in some tests for rtl. Lowered the test to 30px font size
so it would all fit in the image. Diff was 0.76%.

Typo?  "Ident" -> "Indent"

Windows will need expected results update (since it falls back to mac).
I will update them once I can pull results from the bots.
