Yes, there might be a bug or another issue preventing you from changing the input field width and height in Webflow. However, it is more likely that you are encountering one of the following scenarios:

Override styles with higher specificity: Check if there are any other classes or styles that are overriding your new class. In CSS, styles with higher specificity (e.g., inline styles or other classes with more specific selectors) will take precedence over styles with lower specificity. To override these styles, use a more specific selector or add !important to your styles (although it's generally not recommended to overuse !important).
Style Inheritance: The input field's width and height can be influenced by their parent elements. For example, if the input field is in a container with a fixed width, it may not expand beyond that width. Look for any parent elements that might be affecting the size of your input fields.
CSS conflicts: It's possible that there might be conflicts between the default Webflow styles and your custom styles. To resolve this, you can try using the browser's developer tools (e.g., Chrome DevTools) to inspect the element and see which styles are being applied. This can help identify any conflicts or overridden styles that could be causing the issue.

To troubleshoot and resolve this issue in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

Check for any conflicting styles or higher specificity selectors that might be overriding your new class.
Inspect the element using browser developer tools to identify any conflicts or overridden styles.
If you're using custom code, make sure there are no JavaScript errors or conflicting scripts that might be affecting the input field width and height.
Try recreating the input fields from scratch to ensure there are no lingering issues from previous attempts.
Consult the Webflow community forums or reach out to Webflow support for further assistance.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue preventing you from changing the input field width and height in Webflow.
