109386 - choosing multiple <option> in <select> is just plain flakey

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 109318

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[David A. Cobb]

[You'll need to pretend to look for a job to verify this]

The site identified presents a profile <form> to be filled in, included is a BIG
<select> array for Location.  <SELECT NAME="CombinedLocation" MULTIPLE size=6>
Hold CTL and select a bunch of dates.  I suppose the size=6 [should be "6"?] is
the maximum selections?  Anyway, mine was preset with more than 6 selections. 
After about 6 selections the behaviour becomes erratic.  Clicking on a new
location might clear ALL the prior selections, it might hilight the new
selection, after this behaviour starts the variation between one or the other
misbehaviour occurs without reaching 6.

In desperation [cause I need a job] I fired up the Enemy browser.  That let me
check all the locations I want.  I hope the company's database stores them all!

Reporter: attempting to load that URL gives an error 404. Have another point of

Enter from <http://careers.csc.com/index2.html>, Select "Register" then
"Register As A New User".
You will be at the form that shows this symptom - you won't even need to fake a
registration.
FWIW I just tried it and it started acting up without having a quota of 6
selections: Click (1), Ctl+Click(2) [both hilighted], Ctl+Click(3) Clears the
first 2.
