36259 - HTML selection list redraws badly

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 30091

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P3)

Description

[Adam]

Mozilla M16 20000418xx, Mac OS 9.0.4

1) Visit the Bugzilla query page
2) Select 'Browser' from the Product list

The components list redraws, seemingly scrolling and refreshing for each element 
in the list. This causes multiple scroll bars to be drawn across the page as the 
list resizes. This appears to make redrawing slower as it's updating the size for 
each element, rather than an all-at-once approach. IE 5 displays this behavior as 
well, but Netscape 4.7.2 doesn't even update the size (lists are oversized and 
don't need to be redrawn) and displays the new selection list instantaneously.

Mozilla should hold off updating/redrawing the list until all elements are 
loaded.
