126551 - F4 selects and sets the wrong option when opening a HTML <select>

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[John Morrison]

See attached testcase. When opening an HTML <select>, using F4 changes the
selected option, once on opening and again on closing. 

Steps to reproduce:
1) load testcase
2) hit F4
3) hit F4 again to roll it up

Actual results: SGI, then Sun, selected
Expected results: 'All' should remain selected if user only opens then closes
                   the widget.

Since this is a Nav4x win32 behaviour (right?), and IE opens the urlbar on F4, 
then we should either fix it or disable it for nsbeta1 (i.e., if we can't make
it do the right thing, don't have it do the wrong thing either).

We're going to be using XBL-based HTML form controls soon.

I think the policy is to not work on tweaking the old-style HTML form controls.

minusing because we're going after XBL form controls which will nullify this bug.
