It's not a styling issue, it's a "you have mediawiki.legacy.mwsuggest and ext.vector.simpleSearch enabled simultaneously. Normally ext.vector.simpleSearch would disable mediawiki.legacy.mwsuggest on the client side, in a sort of hacky and silly way, and this is clearly failing.

A better solution would be to not send both suggestion systems.

Sure it is mwsuggest ? Looks like field history from the browser to me. Not sure which browser this is, but I have seen such a problem with some versions of webkit, where the disabling of field suggestions/history was broken.

You know what, i think you are absolutely right! Sorry for the bad diagnosis.

The screenshot is from recent version of Chrome.

@Niklas, I have seen similar issues with nightly builds of WebKit for Safari. It disappeared after several days, so I presume this issue is a bug in Chrome and of temporary nature, i doubt it can be worked around.

I don't think that there is anything else we can do about this. Closing as wontfix of a fixed upstream issue.
