This is because we are temporarily using the GFX Text widget for displaying the
selected item. We will switch is back to using the GFX button for displaying it
when bug #11782 get fixed.
Depends on: 11782
Summary: Cilcing in the display area of a Combobox does not drop down the list → Clicking in the display area of a Combobox does not drop down the list
once the gfx list is dropped down, i cannot select an item unless i actually
click on it's text. is that a seaparate issue?
What are the different ways you are trying that don't work?
use the pref user_pref("nglayout.widget.mode", 2); to force gfx widgets in
apprunner. (or use viewer and choose GFX as your widget rendering mode)

1. open the url http://wetnap.mcom.com/seamonkey/bugs/bug5975.html
2. click the triangle to drop down either select element.
3. click in the whitespace about 20 pixels to the right of either
   option all you want -- it will have no effect until you click on the
   text of the option.

eg:
	+--------------+-+
        | Normal       |v|
        +-----------------
        | Normal         |
        | Heading2       |
        +----------------+

clicking to the right of the 'l' in Normal or the '2' in Heading2 will have
no effect.
The problem is that any time the width of the select is larger than the width of
the child, the "gap" between the text and the right edge is not selectable. By
setting the option to have a width of 100% fixes the problem but can cause
scrollbar to appear that can make some of the items disappear. It is unclear
whether it is a layout problem or a combobox/list problem. I will look into this
more after GFX scrollbars are in and turned on.
