Text input: when empty, has misaligned cursor, on newest FF only

[reebalazs]

Describe the bug
The text input, when empty, has the blinking cursor one line higher. When you start to type a value, it is already good. Only occurs when the field is empty. Happens with all text input fields.

Happens on FF version 134.0a1 (2024-11-23) (aarch64), Nightly, and not happening in stable FF 131.0 (aarch64). It also does not happen on another browsers.

To Reproduce
Look at any input such as the login page username, password inputs.

Expected behavior
Just like on every other browser, the cursor should be on the same line as the text.

Newest volto version, but most likely older versions too.

@reebalazs Are you working on this issue?

[reebalazs]

To everyone. I am not working on the issue, but recently I've realized that this is not Volto specific. I have the same issue on Firefox Nightly, on other applications.

So

• it is possible that this is an issue in newer Firefox, in which case it's probably not fixable from Volto
• it is also possible that some plugin (that I use) is causing the issue.

The first question is, can others reproduce this, or is it just me?

I am not actually doing any work on this, so if it turns out that it's solvable, feel free to own the issue.

@reebalazs I can't reproduce this in Firefox 134.0 (aarch64). I think I'll close the issue since it sounds like it's probably a more general problem with your browser. You could try with a clean new Firefox profile to see if that helps.

@reebalazs also I noticed you have the 1Password extension enabled, based on little blue circle with vertical black bar in the screenshot. What happens if you disable it?

[reebalazs]

@stevepiercy as of today, using Firefox Nightly 136.0a1 (2025-01-14) (aarch64), the problem is gone. I haven't disabled any extensions, using the same as before.

So whether it was the browser or some extension, this seemed to be fixed now.
