Mostly, see the test case that I'm about to attach (I hope).
When I have a drop-down SELECT control opened and I click on an item, the
resulting event has clientX and clientY relative to the top left corner of the
list, not of the enclosing iframe nor the window (excuse me: the control is
inside an iframe; I don't know what happens if it's inside a regular window).
Reproducible in the build I got from
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-0.9.9ec/ on 2nd April, a week
ago today.

Unzip, open bug.html in your browser, try some clicks in the left iframe,
including some on the dropped-down list. You should see their clientX and
clientY logged in the right iframe.

I don't think this is a bug per se. The DOM spec certainly doesn't indicate
what should happen here; and it seems like any page which relies on clientX and
clientY from a dropdown select is bound to run into problems -- there are no
guarantees about the size or positioning of the popup. If we were using native
widgets, it likely wouldn't be possible to even report clientX and clientY.
I attempted to test IE's behavior in this case but the attached test case fails
on IE 6.

just like my earlier test case (78365), but more flexible

As you will see from my new test case, IE does give the behaviour I wanted. (I
tested in IE 5.5 bcos I don't have IE6).
Moreover, at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Events-20001113/events.html#Events-MouseEvent-clientX
we are told that clientX and clientY should be "relative to the DOM
implementation's client area". I take the "client area" to mean the browser
window ... at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2002Jan/0018.html I
find "DOM Implementation's client area (i.e. the user agent area used
to display the whole DOM tree)".

Can you give me some idea what you're using this for? I'm having trouble
envisioning a scenario where this couldn't be handled by "onchange" on the
select element.

Hey , I'm a new member, I found this bug too with firefox 1.0.5
try this...
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<select style="position:absolute;left:100px;top:100px;">
<option>11111</option>
<option>22222</option>
<option>33333</option>
<option>44444</option>
<option>55555</option>
</select>
</form>
<script>
function showOffset(evt){
if(!evt){evt=window.event;}
document.title=evt.clientY;
}
window.onmousemove= showOffset;
</script>
</body>
</html>
What happen when you click and move your mouse to select something...see the
titlebar...Is this bug? and I think I found manny unusual things with firefox.

When clicking a row of a tree that is placed within a menupopup, the wrong row will be selected. Is that related to this bug?
