Per bug 157846, padding is not correctly added to textboxes, so we should not use it in the UI.

See screenshot.

I'm not clear what interfaces are currently specifically effected.
is this going to be a css-only fix? I have been trying to identify the css that affects the padding, here is my best guess: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/layout/forms/resources/content/xbl-forms.css
or perhaps it is this: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/layout/style/forms.css#148
Not sure what this bug's point is. If attachment 320462 [details] is the only issue we're talking about, then fundamentally changing the way we style textboxes doesn't seem worthwhile.
... also, what's the alternative for padding? I'm assuming it's there for a reason, so we don't just want to remove it.
See bug 157846 for the back end bug. My request here is to avoid using padding in Firefox for now, as a work around.
Same questions again...
1) What would we use instead of padding?
2) Are there other manifestations of bug 157846, besides the screenshot attached to this bug? That screenshot doesn't look severe enough to justify such a workaround. (Or is your request to remove the padding only for that specific textbox?)
Yes, I suggest removing the padding only for that specific box.

Don't know if there are more occurrences of this bug.

I think the textbox looks worse without the padding, fwiw.

Hey, can I take this up?

Hey, can I take this up?

Absolutely. You don't need to ask, especially (in PSM) for anything with [psm-would-take-patch] or [psm-easy] in the whiteboard. Just assign it to yourself (if you can) or post a patch. Feel free to reach out to Dana or myself on IRC in #security if you need.

Hey, how do I self assign it?

Hey, how do I self assign it?

In the "People" section at the top of this bug, there should be a "Take" button near the "Assignee" field. If you click that and then click "Save Changes" it should assign you.

New certificate viewer.
