182521 - hover pseudo-class disables the drop-down menu created by <select>

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 154670

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016

When I attempt to access the drop-down menu, the :hover pseudo-class correctly
underlines the <select> option but the drop-down menu is disabled. This can be
seen on the URL provided above or on a much-simplified attachment, bug-hover.html.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put the mouse over the drop-down arrow. The text will be underlined.
2. Click on the drop-down arrow.


Actual Results:  
The drop-down menu either doesn't come down or does come down briefly but is
"unclickable". Occasionally the scroll bar can be seen. In no case does the
drop-down menu "drop down".

Expected Results:  
The drop-down menu should have displayed its contents. The choices should have
been "clickable". Netscape 7.0 has this behavior with the URL but not with the
attachment.

I'm not sure if the attachment is the "minimal testcase" now since Netscape 7.0
handles the URL correctly but _not_ the attachment.

dupe of "drop-down select menu closed by DOM/CSS events."
