I have no idea how you make it happen, but using firefox 2.0.0.4 danish i have no such problems at all. Your example works perfectly, and there is no misplacement!

I now saw that it happens only when the text field is styled with BOTH font-size AND border. (Of course both the text field and the button has the height property set to the same value.)

Yeah thats what i figured out by looking at your page. Still a bug, though

Surely the beauty of the open-source movement is that you can go in and fix those bugs yourself Trond?

Styling with borders, margin and padding often comes out differently on different browsers here and firefox can be iffy.

I am not sure if the firefox team interprets the standard differently to, say, IE and opera or whether it is a simple bug. I think the latter as it does not happen in every case / page. So making a stylesheet that deals with it in some cases then messes up in cases where it doesn't happen.

Or maybe everyone else got the interpretation wrong and there is a "use this thickness this way sometimes" clause to the standards. :)

Regardless, it is irritating when you want to support all browsers consistently.



Edit:
I don't intend to join the firefox team to learn, find and fix it. :D
