Browser comparison for input with no specified width in CSS or attribute: Firefox 3.0.10 (Windows), Firefox 3.5.2 (Windows), Safari 4.0.2 (Windows)

Because this is a duplicate bug of #500550, from the other bug:

From the HTML source:
<input type="text" name="Email" id="Email" size="18" value="" class='gaia le
val' />
<input type="password" name="Passwd" id="Passwd" size="18" class="gaia le val"
/>

Notice there is no width="", nor do the classes specify width. Also from the
source (CSS):
.gaia.le.val { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: smaller; }

I do see this problem on numerous sites, not just iGoogle's log in. The other
sites do not have CSS for their <input>s nor do they specify width. For those,
the input boxes often go off screen.

I do not know if this a bug with Firefox or Cairo. But on Linux I have not
changed my Cairo version and 3.0.10 renders "correctly". Should not make
Firefox the odd one out by rendering <input>s this way.
