the width attribute is not valid according to the HTML spec on input button types. The fact that Nav 4.5 supported it is probably an accident. IE does not support this so it is probably not a bug we wish to be backward compatible with. Besides this feature is supported via style sheets and it does work in Gecko. input[type="button"] { width: 80px; } will set the button to 80px wide.
