This problem occurs w/ slightly unbalanced HTML (see attached) on 0.9.7. It
works fine in Netscape 4.
With the unbalanced <font> in this example, selecting ANY entry in the dropdown
selects the first entry (AL), no matter which i chose from the list.
Submitting the form shows that AL is indeed the selection.
This bug appears when selecting a user rating on half.com and when selecting the
shipping state on stores.yahoo.com .
This doesn't happen w/ the <font> balanced or if you change the spacing of
<form></form>, so I'm guessing that the engine tries to guess where to balance
the </font> and guesses wrong, but I have no idea why that would cause the bug.
oops -- looks like the problem is w/ 0.9.6. however, i seem to recall that my
0.9.7 at home has the same problem.
simplest test case i can find which exhibits the bug. I think that this may be
two bugs -- the engine guesses where to put the </font> incorrectly, which
triggers the real bug (the can't select bug).
