TEXT_FIELD and TEXT_AREA behave differently with style field

Hi All

I noticed that a field on a form (margin and horizontalAlignment property set to Default) with displayType TEXT_FIELD and displayType TEXT_AREA seem to behave differently.

This is my style definition

field
{
background-color: #FFFFFF;
font: 12pt LucidaGrande;
text-align: left;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}

The TEXT_FIELD has left and right about 2 pixels, whereas the TEXT_AREA has none!?

Now, aligning text in fields below each other is takes quite some effort, as different styles are needed, but in my opiniion the field style should serve both types of fields.

Am I missing something? Do others notice the same?

Best regards, Robert
