CSS: Position: absolute; causes input element to move on input in Chrome
I have a search box inside a grid, but for some reason, the input box jumps almost to the other side of the page when a user starts typing in it. I've narrowed it down and found out that the position: absolute causes this. This only happens in Chrome. What's wrong with the code?
CSS:
header {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 15% 50% 30% 5%;
height: 40px;
width: auto;
/*border: 1px solid red;*/
margin-left: 26.5%;
margin-right: 50px;
margin-top: 35px;
position: relative;
}
header input {
grid-column-start: 3;
margin-top: 2px;
margin-bottom: 2px;
}
.searchStyle {
border: none;
background-color: transparent;
width: 75px;
-webkit-transition: all .5s ease;
-moz-transition: all .5s ease;
transition: all .5s ease;
position: absolute;
right: 60px;
top: 21%;
}
.searchStyle:focus {
width: 200px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #BA9765;
outline: none;
}
HTML:
<header>
[other code]
<input class="searchStyle" type="text" placeholder="SEARCH…" id="search-bar" />
[other code]
</header>
Here's the issue in Chrome.
Here's what it should look like (Firefox).

Question: why exactly are you using grid-template but then absolutely position an element? I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing, just curious about the rationale behind your code.

Not an expert in CSS yet, so I don't know if it's the optimal solution, but I wanted to align the input field to the right side inside the grid column and then make it expand with an animation towards left when focused. Without position: absolute it expands towards right instead, which I don't want.

Didn't find out why position: absolute causes this in Chrome, but manage to find a solution by removing the position absolute, put the input inside a div and make a class for that div with these values:
.gridAlign {
grid-column-start: 3;
display: flex;
justify-content: flex-end;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-top: 7px;
margin-bottom: 7px;
}
