[SOLVED]Chrome: Shrinked input element when only "size" attribute used

I have no idea where to look, so I am posting this here, in a hope, that someone will show me a different direction where to look or find solution.

The Problem
In Google Chrome, and also in Chromium, when there is an input element on page, with defined size attribute, and not defined "width" in CSS, the input element shrinks to very small size where I can not see what I am writing or whats filled in. See picture here: http://i.imgur.com/wUnQbnk.png

I though its a bug in Chrome, Chromium or Webkit (Because the same I see now in Opera Developer http://i.imgur.com/o2XnJP0.png), but I have a second computer, also with archlinux and exact same versions of browsers, and I can not reproduce it. The inputs are shown properly.

I also could not find any recent bug report about this (I believe something like this would be very hot topic and easy to google).

Other (maybe) useful information
  * I am using Xfce 4.12
  * infinality-bundle
  * firefox does not have this problem
  * midori does not have this problem
  * when I add "width" property in css to the shrinked element, it "unshrinks" to the size I define (using webdeveloper tools in browser)
  * standard kernel
  * fully updated system, including all aur packages
  * when I copied whole browser profile from unaffected computer, the problem was still there (it is NOT profile or addon/extension related)

Question
What to do about it? Where to look? Where to report? What other information you woul like me to provide?

Re: [SOLVED]Chrome: Shrinked input element when only "size" attribute used

Okay, I was finally able to find what is causing the problem. As I secretly suspected, it was Infinality Bundle. To be specific "fontconfig-infinality-ultimate". When i set "fc-presets set" to 'free', the problem disappears, when i switch back to 'combi', it's there again. First I thought I caused this by my changes in 37-repl-global-combi.conf, but as a matter of fact, this happens even in vanilla 37-repl-global-combi.conf

Hope this helps someone, who suffers the same problem.

I'm running into this problem too without Infinality Bundle installed.
