As shown in the image above, if you have a padded text box, the initial cursor size, at least on my Mac, is the full height specified with padding. Of course, when you start typing, it returns to the normal size of the text (see Password watermark).
Is there a way to make the starting cursor of the desired size, besides simply resizing the actual text field? (It works great in Webkit browsers.)
Example:
<input type="textbox" style="height: 40px" />
