Phil, please read the bug reporting guidelines at
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/bug-writing-guidelines.html, and try to use the
Bugzilla Helper (http://www.mozilla.org/quality/help/bug-form.html) to report
bugs -- it prompts your for all the necessary information.

At the very least, a clear description of the problem and a build ID on which
you're seeing the problem are needed.  A testcase or demonstration would be very
helpful.

Mozilla 0.9.2 (Build ID: 2001062815) on WinNT4:

Description: The color of the first option is not shown in the list - the other 
work: In the example below the background-color of "Chromium" is not displayed - 
background-colors from "Cobalt" (second entry) to "Titanium" (last entry) do 
work.

<select>

<option value="Chromium" style="background:#9CB2A5; 
color:black">Chromium</option>

<option value="Cobalt" style="background:#9C9EBD; color:black">Cobalt</option>

<option value="Iridium" style="background:#AD929C; color:black">Iridium</option>

<option value="Titanium" style="background:#BDBAB5; 
color:black">Titanium</option>

</select>

Linux build 2001-07-06-08 -- all colors show fine (except the selected option is
blue, of course).

Win98: all of the colors display when I drop down the select list, but the 
background of the select is always white when the menu isn't visible and when 
the select doesn't have focus.  The first item doesn't seem special.

Philipp, could you attach a screenshot of the expected rendering? Or at least
describe it in more detail?

Attachment: expected rendering

Comment 8

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

I see the same behavior on Linux as Jesse does on win98 -- the closed select is
always white.  The colors show fine in the dropdown menu.  Over to HTML form
controls.... I'm not convinced this is a bug.
