• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Forms

[jasneet]

I Steps:
Go to
http://developers.facebook.com/tools.php?fbml

II Issue:
Notice the height of text box next to "user:" and "profile:"

III Conclusion: Issue is caused due to defining line-height:32px;
On varying the line height say 30px, 20px ; the height of input text box also varies in Safari but no effect seen in FF.

IV Other browsers: 
FF: ok
Opera: ok
IE 7: ok

V Nightly tested: 30236

Giving line height to input elements increase the height of the element. To make it work similiar as Mozilla and IE line-height :normal should be applied for input elements.

Trying to prevent this with a user-agent stylesheet change will make line-height value of normal visible in getComputedStyle on the input element; because of that I think this is wrong. Unless the specification or standard practice in other browsers is to return "normal" as the computed style for the input element. Instead we can turn off the line-height inside the shadow DOM constructed by the input element somewhere in the RenderTextControl class.

Can you please test what getComputedStyle does in these other browsers?

The Test case input-line-height.html shows the following results. The test case compares getComputedStyle's line-height with style's line-height

IE : FAIL for all inputs i.e getComputedStyle's line-height and style's line-height are same (both values show 50px)
Mozilla : PASS for all inputs i.e getComputedStyle's line-height and style's line-height are different.(getComputedStyle's line height shows 16px and style's line height shows 50px)

Mozilla as I can see is doing through .css

OK, lets go with the CSS solution.

There should be a space after the colon to match the rest of the html.css file.
