In the vector skin, the background of the search box in the upperhand right corner is white. The foreground color is from another source. This causes color inconsistency and in some cases illegibility. In my case I am using a GTK browser (FireFox) and the foreground color appears to be coming from the GTK theme. To reproduce the bug, select a GTK theme with light foreground colors, such as "High Contrast Inverse". This example will give you white text on a white background, which is illegible. For browsers, I tested - firefox 3.6 and 4.0b. - Opera 10.62 They all exhibited the problem. I tested some other Mediawiki themes, including Monobook. They did not display this fault.
This should be all fixed up in r73557 - I just added an explicit text color to the search box.
