Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020721
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020721

Select box form controls that are coded to permit a single selection by the user
do not update after the user makes their selection if they are inside of a
fieldset. If the user clicks on a dead area of the page or on a form control
OUTSIDE of the fieldset, the select box then refreshes to reflect the selection
made by the user. 

See my attached test file for a clearer explanation and demonstration.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a select box
2. Restrict it to only permit 1 selection by the user
3. Place this select box inside of a fieldset
4. Choose one of the options in the select box that is inside the fieldset.
5. Observe that your choice does not appear in the select box after you have
clicked on it, until you click else where on the page, or unless you interact
with a form element that is OUTSIDE the fieldset. 

Actual Results:  
See steps to reproduce.

Expected Results:  
After a user clicks on a selection in a select box, the select box should
immediately refresh to display that selection, without further action by the user.

WFM WinXP 2002081119.  Could you try a more recent build?  A few fieldset bugs
like this got fixed in the 1.1 cycle.

I just upgraded to :
Mozilla 1.1
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826
That is, the formal 1.1 release, and the bug is still present.

I need to add another installation for releases subsequent to the formal 1.1,
because I need 1.1 to persist as it is for other testing.

WFM, 2002-09-17-09 trunk Linux (duplicate bug 169685 also WFM)

OK, I think we have enough WFM to say it works on trunk.  Please reopen if you
upgrade to a more recent build and it doesn't work for you.
