If to go to login screen with "change user" command in the start menu, and then re-login to the session, the fonts in the search bar, search on the page field and in many input forms on the pages become "System" font instead of the default font.

Sorry don't know anything about such stuff. But if it's really important to you, but doesn't matter much for others, you'll probably have to help yourself, as I too all the time. That makes chances for a solution or workaround 100x bigger, compared to sitting and waiting for an official fix.

Usual method: google for the same prob in Firefox (or now PaleMoon too), that shows a lot more answers. And the solutions often work in KM too.

In this case, styling in input fields etc., chances are probably quite good to find a solution by adding something to (currentprofile)/chrome/userContent.css, userChrome.css, or perhaps changing some pref in about:config

This old KM-topic from 2011 seems a bit similar, but not sure:

Especially for form fields, try if it helps to add something similar to userContent.css:
form * {-moz-appearance: none !important;}

It is related to video driver as far as I remember. Post graphics block from about:support as reference.

I was told this bug was thought to be fixed (but it is not):

Look,
your case is well-known for KM 75 but was claimed to be solved during the development of v.76.

That's why we need more details to know whether you just use old version or the solution in 76 wasn't really found.

Now, I found a way to 100% reproduce it.

Tested K-Meleon 1.6 using old ATI video drivers were find bar edit control changes to system font on theme change. Didn't test Intel and Nvidia yet. This needs changes in program and searchbarplus plugin.

Same with Intel graphics. Patched it in a fork. Didn't find any other input fields with this problem in K-Meleon. Post a link to one of the public Windows 8.1 themes if it causes more trouble.

This affects multiple input fields: the search on the page, search in the web, and custom text fields on websites. It does not depend on theme.

Your screen shot shows the toolbar problems, but what website changes font of custom text fields in the browser view on theme change or when switching user.

For instance, on the site linux.org.ru the font in dropbox changes:



On this site as well:



There were a lot of other cases, I will watch.

Great, but no change on theme change. It just ignores document and user settings and always uses message font. Preference setting is browser.formfill.enable.
