Description

I'm trying to get the font size of an input on componentDidMount via JavaScript, and it returns 11px even though my CSS has it styled to 14px (confirmed it renders as 14px). The 11px comes from the default Chrome user agent styles (font: 11px BlinkMacSystemFont), so this leads me to believe the JS is running before the CSS gets applied. Is this the expected behavior, or a bug?

(sorry if this is a duplicate, I tried searching!)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the input-style observation around componentDidMount, CSS Modules, and Chrome's user-agent styles. Inspect when the stylesheet is loaded relative to the component lifecycle, then determine whether the reported 11px value is reproducible and what behavior should be documented or corrected.
