Sorry, this is invalid. The default font for text-inputs is a variable-width
font, in which the "width of a character" is a meaningless concept. Try putting
5 copies of the letter "W" in that input field, then try five copies of the
letter "i" to see what I mean. We try to size to an "average" character size
and match closely to IE/NS4 most of the time.
If you are having the problem you describe and the font being used is _fixed_
width, please reopen and attach a testcase (and my apologies in that case)....

The problem occured width the Courier New/Courier font, with fiexed width.
I used the following relevantly HTML/CSS-Source:
<html><head>
<style type="text/css"><!--
input.txt { background-color:b8d4f0; border-right:1px solid #ddeeff; border-top:1px solid #ddeeff; border-left:1px solid #ddeeff; border-bottom:1px solid #ddeeff; font-family:courier new,courier; font-size:10pt; }
//--></style>
</head><body><form>
<input type="text" name="code" class="txt" size="5">
</form></body></html>
With this Source I can reproduce this bug. But it's only an optical thing...
Thanx

That testcase worksforme on Linux.... (Exactly 5 chars fit).
What do you mean by "it's an optical thing"?

So it looks on my Win98SE (that i called "optical problem"),
with the <textarea>'s i've a similar prob with the width (6/8 instead of 5/7 --
w scollbar/wo scrollbar by cols="5")
Or must it be a local problem? (I have the problem with older Mozilla-Versions,
too -- like the old 0.6 - a row-problem with textareas must be solved since
0.6)

The two textfields on the top of the page ought to contain 65 characters,
exactly!
But the "input"-tag is containing 66chars and the "textarea" even more.
The latter one doesn't also obey to options like "wrap=HARD" or
"wrap=physical"!
How annoying this bug could become, you may consider, if tables like the one
showed will become more deeply nested with every field 1 char TOO LONG...

The problem you've with the <textarea>'s isn't really one.
A textarea should be automatically 2 'points' wider and one higher, because of
the scroll; but they are _3_ points wider (one too much, like type=text).
With wraps i've got problems too...
Example: cols="5", rows="2", actually 8/3, 7/3 would be corret, i think.

There is an exact dup of this bug somewhere, but I can't for the life of me find it.

The problems with fixed-width fonts are fixed by bug 103293 and the rest of the
behavior mentioned in this bug is correct....
