take a listbox 
by now you can only select entries by typing the first letter.

a more usefull way would be to add the entered keystrokes.
the <home> key should reset the typed keys and jump to the top of the list.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. use the listbox from the 'additional information'
2. put the cursor into the listbox
3. type the keys <t><o><m>

Actual Results:  the 2. entry is selected 'torsten'

Expected Results:  the 3. entry should be selected 'tomas'

<form>    
  <p>    
  <select name="top5" size="1">
  <option>thorsten</option>
  <option>torsten</option>
  <option>tomas</option>
  <option>thomas</option>
  </select>
  </p>
  </form>
