<HTML> <HEAD></HEAD> <BODY> <select SIZE=3> <option value="1">Blah <option value="2" SELECTED>Blah2 <option value="3">blah3 <option value="4">Blah4 </select> </BODY> </HTML> The above HTML code will display a select box which is missing a scroll bar and scroll arrows. Mozilla 1.1beta, Netscape 6, and IE render this box with scroll arrows and a scroll bar.
This is related to / a dupe of bug 161474. I wrote a little diatribe there about it, but basically the OS won't draw scroll bars smaller than a certain size. FWIW, OmniWeb (the only other browser that uses real Cocoa widgets) avoids this by refusing to draw a select box any smaller than this limit. That is, in the example above (with any SIZE <= 3) the select box displays about 3 and a half lines of text.
Adding qawanted. Sam, please attach your testcase to this bug as a file.

Using Chimera/2002081605, I see the scroll bar and arrows using the testcase. I don't see the elevator, though.

Summary: Scroll Arrows (and scroll bar) remain invisible in multi-item select boxes. → Scroll arrows (and bar) remain invisible in multi-item SELECT boxes
The size of the select box is dependant on the font that you're using, and the scrollbar cut-off is dependant on whether you have scroll bar arrows together at the bottom and one at each end. It's most apparant when your scrollbars are together at the bottom and your font size is small (a few cmd- should do the trick).
We clearly have an issue here. I can see the scrollbar background, but neither arrows nor an actual elevator for it. Plus if I click somewhere at the right of the scrollbar, I get a popup menu with the contents of the select.

Ever confirmed: true
Something else worth noting (in 0.4 at least) is that once you get the popup menu to appear, mousing over the select box will highlight whichever line your pointer is over. This continues to happen even if you've clicked elsewhere on the blank part of the page to remove focus from the select box. The only way I've found to make it stop is to reload the page.
