Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 883895

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P1)

Description

[Nootan Ghimire]

Attachment: index.html - The sample file.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0
Build ID: 20141201171754

Steps to reproduce:

Run the following fiddle on  firefox.

http://jsfiddle.net/fgyo9oqj/


Actual results:

The table works as expected. The select goes to the far right, which is also an expected behaviour. But when i click the select control (to view the option), the option starts from the same position and does not automatically reposition itself to display as much as possible as opposed to other browsers. 


Expected results:

Other browsers (such as chrome) in this case automatically reposition the list of options so that they can accommodate as much data as possible.  Try the given code in other browsers.
