I don't see a problem here? With the 2001-11-16-03 build, the testcase looks fine -- just as fine as in IE. What's exactly wrong?
Håkan, try using Linux to look at the testcase.... adding pp keyword. :) The issue is that there is a scrollbar on the right side of that select, but only enough space for the top scroll arrow on that scrollbar. So the bottom scroll arrow does not show.
Keywords: pp
for what it is worth, it looks fine on Windows

Summary: <select multiple size="1"> scroll widget too large → <select multiple size="1"> scroll widget too large (or too small?)
Note that on Mac, there's no scrollbar at all when "multiple size=1" is used. There's a dropdown-button when "size=1" is used, though. Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030813 Mac OS X 10.2.6
i see this on XP - Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030813 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1+ (regardless of theme). if the height of the select is less that 2 x the height of the scroll arrows, the scroll arrows are not displayed, making it difficult to scroll the select. IE6 doesn't change the font size of the select when you change the web page's text size, so i can't reproduce in IE. perhaps the minimul height of a select should be 2 x height of scroll arrows?
Changing to all/all because of comment 9 and comment 10. >perhaps the minimul height of a select should be 2 x height of scroll arrows? Note that Safari always wants to display a 'real' scrollbar (2 arrows and a throbber), and that ends up to be the equivalent of size="4".

My example below shows a multiple selection, size 2 (but 7 elements) with no scroll bar. There should be a scroll bar here. <select name="edition[]" multiple size="2" title="Hold the CTRL key to select multiple Editions." /> <option value="1">Edition 1</option> <option value="2">Edition 2</option> <option value="3">Edition 3</option> <option value="4">Edition 4</option> <option value="5">Edition 5</option> <option value="6">Edition 6</option> <option value="7">Edition 7</option> </select>

This is not a problem with Firefox 1.5.0.4 on Windows XP, so I think that this report should no longer show OS as being 'All', but rather Windows 2000, which is what I indicated where I first reported this problem (as part of the new bug report 345337, which has now been dup'd to this one). More information: It works fine with Mozilla 1.7.13 on Windows XP. It does not work fine (it exhibits the bug) with Mozilla 1.7.12 on Windows 2000.
More information: It works fine using Firefox 1.5.0.4 on Linux Red Hat 9.

In fact, no scrollbars are presented for a size of 1 or 2. I installed Mozilla 1.7.13 and confirmed the issue only exists when the size=1. I installed Netscape 8.1 and confirmed the issue only exists when the size=1. So, based on this I would disagree that it's an issue isolated to Windows 2000.

I suspect this is more or less the same issue as bug 292284.

This bug is 5 years old and still not fixed?
I tried Firefox/Trunk/Linux. This bug is still reproducible but bug 348213 isn't. Are these the same problem? Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20061102 Minefield/3.0a1
welcome to 2008 The bug is still there. http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_select2 <html> <body> <form action=""> <select name="cars" multiple="multiple" size="1"> <option value="volvo">Volvo</option> <option value="saab">Saab</option> <option value="fiat">Fiat</option> <option value="audi">Audi</option> </select> </form> </body> </html>
