Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[cory.joyce]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

When removing an item from a multiple select box using the onclick event the
next click will process as if the entire screen was the select box.  Instead of
processing what is under the cursor when you click Firefox (and Mozilla) will
call the onclick event on the list.

I have tried changing the focus and bluring before removing the item and it does
not help.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a select box allowing multiple selections. 
2.Add an onchange action to remove the selected item. [<select
onchange='this.remove(this.selectedIndex);' onclick='alert("clicked");'
multiple='true' > ]
3.Click an item in the select box.


Actual Results:  
The next click will call the onclick event instead of what is under the cursor.

Expected Results:  
Process what is under the cursor.
