Hi argelklavier,
I suggest you to look at your CSS because there is something which conflicts with the CSS layout properties of the widget defined in jqx.base.css. There is something which you have changed in the CSS, because by default the Input’s padding is not so big, too. My suggestion for you is to use the widget’s files in the way we provide them and change only colors, backgrounds, fonts and borders in the CSS if you want to change the visual appeal.
Best Regards,
