17663 - <optgroup> doesn't close option when </option> is missing

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect, P3)

Description

[rods (gone)]

When an option is missing the closing tag </option> and precedes an optgroup the
option doesn't get closed correctly:

This doesn't work:
<SELECT name="name">
   <OPTION value="a">Option with no close tag
   <OPTGROUP label="OptGroup">
     <OPTION label="Option in OptGroup" value="b">Option in OptGroup</OPTION>
   </OPTGROUP>
</SELECT>

Note how the drop down has three lines, but it is a single selectable item. If
you put in the closing </option> tag it has three lines and the two option
elements are selectable and the optgroup is not (which is correct)
