161101 - select tag not opening inside a DIV with style overflow

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 96756

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Pepe]

SELECT tag (drop down select box) does not open when inside a DIV inside a TABLE
or inside a TABLE inside a DIV when the DIV has a STYLE="overflow:auto;"
parameter that forces the table to scroll after being drawn.
It works ok in MS IE 5.5 and 6.
I think it is major bug, because I am unable to use select boxes inside resized
tables, which is a needed and standard feature that must work.
Example code:
<table width="100%" height="100%">
<tr><td width="100%">
<div style="width:200px;height:100px; overflow:auto;">
<table height="100%"> 
<tr><td>
<select name="no"><option>lala</option>
<option>lala1</option>
<option>lala2</option>
<option>lala3</option>
</select>
<select name="no"><option>lala</option>
<option>lala1</option>
<option>lala2</option>
<option>lala3</option>
</select>
<select name="no"><option>lala</option>
<option>lala1</option>
<option>lala2</option>
<option>lala3</option>
</select>
<select name="no"><option>lala</option>
<option>lala1</option>
<option>lala2</option>
<option>lala3</option>
</select>
</td></tr>
</table>

You can not open the select boxes to select other than the default value which
makes unusable the table and the page.

Dupe of bug 96756 "SELECT element inside of DIV with "overflow:auto" does not
drop when you click on it."
