Matt is working on HasAuthorSpecifiedRules in bug 1349651. We have a lot of failing form control tests though, and it's likely that some will have issues beyond HasAuthorSpecifiedRules, as evidenced by my try push at [1]. So in parallel, we should investigate what other issues there are. We can check whether a given issue is fixed by HasAuthorSpecifiedRules by just flipping the bool in [2]. Per discussion yesterday, Manish is going to look into this.

Some relevant things from a mail I sent before I saw this bug filed: 1) Textarea sizing is wrong. You can see this on layout/reftests/bidi/dirAuto/dynamicDirAuto-setLTR-Auto1.html for example, but this affects a bunch of other tests. This _may_ be due to our scrollbar issues; worth checking with an overflow:hidden textarea (which seems to be sized closer in Gecko to the size stylo sizes its textareas right now). 2) Some tests rely on moz-appearance applying to some things but not others. For example, layout/reftests/css-disabled/select/select-fieldset-1.html on stylo tip doesn't paint the select's dropmarker button correctly. If we flip the boolean, that paints correctly but the <select> itself no longer does (because it _does_ have author rules applied, but we stop dropping native theming for it). This is likely to affect a bunch of <select> tests.

Any idea if (1) was solved as well, or still needs to be investigated?

Reassigning to hiro, I think he knows more about this area of the stuff. I'll continue to report tests that are still failing after fixes land.

As per a try [1] based on scrollbars fixes (bug 1321754 and bug 1361632) with the tweak in comment 0, (1) also seems to have been fixed. On the other hand, as per another try [2] with overflow: hidden in comment 1, the textarea size still different. It looks like there is a room for scrollbar area (it might be caused by native theme style though). I'd like to keep this bug open until bug 1349651 is fixed, and I'd rather help Matt to fix bug 1349651. Also, progress reftests still fail on the first try [1], I am going to investigate it.

I believe these tests are either turned back on or tracked separately.
