Buttons and font size

When you change the font size of button elements, odd things start to happen in IE Win & Mac, and Mozilla. Of course, each browser has its own take on 'odd things'. The Mozilla problem is solvable.

Firefox 1.0 displays the uncorrected versions correctly http://www.emptysnow.com/projects_tests/css/form_input_sizing.gif

I think I have found the Windows IE fix:

Can someone confirm this on a Mac also?

Interesting.

Unfortunately the line-height: 100% doesn't solve the bug in IE Mac.

In fact, it seems as if the uncorrected form in your example is correct! IE Mac shows all texts on the same height in your uncorrected form.
