160880 - Multi-line <selects> displaying popups

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: HTML Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Ben Lukens]

With Chimera/2002080205, clicking on an empty area of a multi-line <select> (one
with a size=n) displays a popup containing the contents of the select tag. This
is particularly noticeable when size=n specifies more lines than there are
<options>. For instance, if a <select size=4> has only one <option>, clicking in
the blank area under that option displays a popup menu. This bug does not appear
in Mozilla/2002073008.

Attachment: Multi-line <select> test case

This is a simple test case. Click in the space under "test 4" and a popup menu
will appear that displays the contents of the <select> element.

I just tried this with a binary I built from CVS last night, and it WFM. Context
menu of a select item is the same as for the rest of the page. (Containing Back,
Forward, Reload, etc.)

Per comment 7, the bug is not a contextual menu of the control-clicking variety,
it's an unmodified click in an unused area of a multi-line select.  And it's
still present in 0.6.0+-2003011204/10.2.3.

(The contextual menu works fine.)

Attachment: patch

This is happening because the click listener that brings up the menu for
<select>s isn't checking to see whether the <select> element has size > 1 or is
multiple-selection

either by email, or by clicking 'edit' on the attachment, selecting '?' next to
review and/or superreview, and entering an email address in the corresponding
text field.

So, I presume this was checked in. Verified fixed using 1.0b2.
