ContentAppend calls WipeContainingBlock which caues the nsListControlFrame to be deleted and recreated which is wrong. Currently, as a work-around we check to see if it is a select frame and then we don't call it.

Updating to default Layout Assignee...kipp no longer with us :-(
Why are you re-reassing layout bugs? Do NOT touch layout bugs. The bugs are assigned to Kipp so they can stay neatly organized until we have a new owner for the block/inline code.
rod: with your workaround in place, how severe a problem is this? I'm trying to find a milestone for it, and I'm inclined to move it out past beta if you have a successful workaround.
mass moving all Kipp's pre-beta bugs to M15. Nisheeth and I will prioritize these and selectively move high-priority bugs into M13 and M14.
Target Milestone: M15 → M14

Troy: Rod said you had some insight into the problems caused by WipeContainingBlock. How about a quick summary?

troy: also, how about a comment about whether this is a beta blocker, or whether it can be fixed post-beta (if you have an opinion on the matter.)
I think the wipe containing block nonsense needs to be fixed before we go to beta. We don't have to improve all of the cases, just the case of appeneded content

We'll keep the hack for now. At some point, if we decide to re-write WipeContainingBlock to be smarter, we'll deal with this then.
