Public bug reported: Ubuntu default font causes major size problems in forms with input type=text and the size attribute.
font-family: 'Ubuntu'; which is the default, an <input type=text size=1> field can contain 7 characters. If i force input fields to have a font- family: monospace; font, it works again. Please pick a better font for Firefox!
