Input fields with no border or too small

[Forage]

Since the update of Firefox from 45 to 46 today, input fields are rendered differently and with issues.

Checkboxes, radio buttons and the range input tag have no borders. Text input tags are rather low in height.

See the following page for examples: http://webdesign.about.com/od/examples/l/bl_input-tag-examples.htm

The height issue is clearly illustrated with the number input tag example, where the up and down arrows are now rendered over the border.
In case of the tags without border: they are now invisible if not selected.

Attached you'll find a screenshot illustrating the different issues.

The issue occurs with the default Firefox theme, as well as the GNOME Firefox theme.

I've also been seeing this, it seems to be an upstream issue. I've tried more than one distro and different gtk3 themes. I haven't found a bug in mozilla's tracker about it yet however.

[Ryan Voots (simcop2387)]

Reddit thread that provides some work a-rounds in the meantime. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/4gjte4/firefox_460_released_with_gtk3_integration/d2i8ccg

[Forage (forage)]

My work-around is to revert to v45 of Firefox. This version allows me to browse the internet just as good (and better compared to the current state of v46).

[Forage (forage)]

The bug supposedly occurs on GTK 3.20, not GTK < 3.20. This is the case on my system. @Ryan: can you confirm this?

Upstream bug report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1234158

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Forage (forage)]

Fixed in Firefox 47. Granted, border margins and paddings are still not ideal, but at least all elements have proper borders again to allow them to be noticed and usable.
