          Description

          This issue is to look at backporting the solution to MDL-33928 to all stable branches in order to fix install layout problems.
          Alternatively we could look for a better layout solution so that we can increase the field size which was increased by MDL-26355 originally.

              I honestly think these fields should have the size="x" removed, and have the width controlled by CSS

              Hehe I don't even know if we serve CSS during installation. Certainly if we do that would be great.

              Okay, so my solution was to make all the fields the same width (bigger) and reduce the size of the label, allowing them to occupy a single line still

              Jason, as discussed with you, this change does not revert the MDL-33928, so now we have a small host field and big other ones.

              Beside that, I would not reduce the label too much. It looks good in English, but if you switch to another language it might not look as good. French for example has pretty much all of the labels over two lines.

              And as we are using CSS sizes for the label, wouldn't make your life easier to theme the inputs using CSS as well? I personally never know how big/small my fields will be using the size attribute.

              Jason, re MDL-33928's patch i think integrators will simply resolve the conflict and go with the solution here. however i think Sam is aware of this and i'm also putting the integration of this one down to Sam.

              Due to the fact the integrators integrated the MDL-33928 patch and ignored my request to skip that one in favour of this one, I have fixed this patch to undo the change in the MDL-33928 and apply the correct patch for the master branch.
