FAQ
Why is the width of the ElInput component expanded by clearable?
Typical issue: #7287
PS: Since the ElInput component does not have a default width, when the clearable icon is displayed, the width of the component will be expanded, which can be solved by setting width.
<el-input v-model="input" clearable style="width: 200px" />Source
