Details 
There is no way I can make a selection in that comboBox. You can open it but
when you click on the list it closes with no selection. If after opening it you
try to make the selection using keyboard the page scrolls leaving the list in
the same position of the screen.
same problem on WinNT4 + 2001091803
When I looked to source, I didn't find starting tag SELECT for this select-box.
It  isn't in HTML or in document.write function.

In MSIE5.5 this select box works... 
seeing this on current cvs linux as well.  Over to form controls.  The
javascript seems to be messing things up for us....

Looks like 0.9.4 handles this.  regression.  ccing Harish in case his parser
changes somehow affected this (doubtful).
Keywords: regression
On my local tree ( 0.9.4 branch ), with all my changes, I'm able to the selection.

0.9.4 is able to do it.  Latest CVS (2001091908 Linux) is not.

This will be fixed with the rewrite of select for bug 34297 (it is working
correctly).  Depending on reviews, I am *guessing* this first patch will be in
within 2-4 weeks.  (We hope to have the first rev. of the patch done this
weekend.)  I'm adding a dependency.

The source of the problem is probably jesup's select insertion performance
improvement (bug 97345), but I can't be sure because I redid that in my patch. 
The problem for me (which was probably also a problem for him) was the fact that
AppendChildTo() is called twice, once for the AppendChildTo(<SCRIPT>) and then
immediately afterwards (recursively) to the created <OPTION>.  The catch is,
when the call is made to AppendChildTo(<OPTION>), the <SCRIPT> element is
already in the tree (in front of the option)!  This means that the tree is no
longer flat, but since the AppendChildTo(<SCRIPT>) call that triggered it hasn't
finished, the select is not yet aware of this (it checks *after* calling the
parent AppendChildTo()).

Note that we have an artifact, even in 0.9.4, where a blank spot shows up at the
beginning of the list.  This is (probably) unrelated.  It still shows up after I
fix the bug in my tree.  (I will file--or search for--a bug on this when I
finish the present patch).

From the dup, if the <select> is the first tag on the page (before <html> and 
<body>!), this bug doesn't occur.

this seems to happen with every couple of new release of Mozilla, in 0.9.4 it
was ok, but not before (i recalll 0.9.2 was ok too) and now it is dead again.

This works for me with yesterday's build.

Hmm... I've seen bugs marked 'mostfreq' for less duplicates than this!
Whiteboard: Fixed? bug 34297 landed partially; test with Nov. 2 or newer builds
Target Milestone: mozilla0.9.6 → mozilla0.9.8
Reinout: the mostfreq keyword was removed since we now have the more accurate
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/duplicates.cgi and 
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/duplicates.cgi?sortby=delta&changedsince=7 to tell 
us which bugs have the most dups and which bugs are gathering dups quickly.
Fixed with bug 34297 landing.

This definitely fixed the bug I'd reported (in a different bug now duped to this
one). Thanks for the effort. Great job!
