I\'m experimenting a strange behavior with Bootstrap 3 input groups. When I add an input-group-addon (text or icon) to a form inside a jumbotron, the input-group height is bigge
Looking at Bootstrap's doc as Adrift suggests, your original code looks perfectly valid. Adding the input-group-lg class is great if you want LARGE but if you don't, it's wrong. Using IE9 and running your code in both my own dev environment and Adrift's jsfiddle, it's working correctly (for me) with and without the input-group-lg class, except of course that with it it's rendered large. Perhaps a browser specific issue??
That said, I'm experiencing a similar problem trying to add a radio button at the front of a selectpicker. Oh well...
