@RVanKammen The reason it shrinks to 350 when you click into an input is because the :focus state has box-sizing: border-box; set on it. So if you add box-sizing: border-box; to the non-focus state this would fix your issue. What **box-sizing: border-box;** basically does is tell the width to include the padding and border.

```lia-code-sample
form textarea,
form select,
form input[type=text],
form input[type=email],
form input[type=password],
form input[type=tel],
form input[type=number],
form input[type=file],
input[type=string] {
 box-sizing: border-box;
 width: 350px;
}

```
