in HTML text controls today, decending characters like lower case 'y' are cut off at the text baseline. I think the inner shell is getting sized incorrectly.
Summary: decending characters cut off in URL field → Serifs cut off in URL field
buster is referring to serifs. i've seen this problem before; additionally, on windows 9x, underscores are going missing (there is a bug filed against that elsewhere).

Check out the attachment. This looks fine on NT, is this still a bug?

Reassigning to editor, it could be their issue.

The nsGFXTextControl is doing exactly what it should. The problem is the padding is set incorrectly for all input[type=text] elements in the skins.css. Here is the bad css: window html|input[type=text] { border: 1px inset rgb(192, 192, 192); padding-top: 3px; padding-bottom: 2px; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 3px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-left: 4px; margin-right: 3px; background-color: white; color: black; min-height: 1.75em; } Also, the padding is wrong for the textarea also. Reassigning to browser group
Sorry, this really did illustrate a problem with the GFX text I file a new bug on the padding.

Summary: Serifs cut off in URL field → Descents cut off in URL field
A little thing. The part below the baseline is called "descent" and has nothing to do with serifs which is something else. Serifs is the small extra curvy parts on fonts as Times. Helvetica is an example of a non-serif font. I'm changing the summary to reflect that and make this bug a little easier to find.

And to think I had it wrong all these years... d'oh!! Nice to finally know what a sans serif font is - thanks! Underscores and descents are visible in the Location: control using the 1999100908 build under NT. Marking verified fixed.
