Dash search field hint text and entered text are of different sizes

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Ubuntu Natty alpha 3
unity 4.16.0-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu 11.10 beta 1

1. Click the Ubuntu button.
2. Type some text.

What happens:
1. The "Search" hint text, and the caret for the search field, are two different heights.
2. The text you enter is yet another different height.

What should happen: either
* there should be no hint text, and the caret and entered text should be the same height; or
* the hint text, caret, and entered text should all be the same height.

Centering it wouldn't solve the problem of the three different sizes, so unmarking duplicate.

I am a little confused about this bug sorry if I made things bad but seems like the carrot issue is fixed, isn't it?

No, this is still a problem in 4.16.0-0ubuntu1. The caret is actually the right height to start with, but it looks like the wrong height because it's different from the hint text.

Seems like that's still an issue in precise, setting to triaged
