User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021220 Chimera/0.6+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021220 Chimera/0.6+


For Chimera, the Mozilla test page:

  http://mozilla.org/quality/browser/standards/html/option_value.html

should have a scroll bars drawn.  This works correctly for Mozilla 1.3a

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://mozilla.org/quality/browser/standards/html/option_value.html
2. look at it.
3.

Actual Results:  
The list box is drawn but the scrollbars are missing. After selecting the box is
navigable with the arrow keys, as expected.

Expected Results:  
Chimera should have drawn the scrollbars.

This works correctly with Mozilla 1.3a.

It also works correctly with Chimera for the Bugzilla page.

I don't know, it looks to me as though Chimera/2003021707 handles this better
than  FizzillaMach/2003021903.

Chimera draws the scrollbar box, but no arrows or elevator.

Mozilla draws the arrows and elevator, in the disabled state. However, the
elevator size and position imply that there are more list items below the 6
seen, which isn't true.

In today's build it looks like the scrollbar is being painted in the select
control in the link in the original bug. (and on bugzilla forms). However theres
still a few cases where they're not being painted. See the example from bug 203798:
http://www.tonerrefillkits.com/cross_reference.htm

This may be a size thing (still happens when there are few visible options), but
I haven't made up a testcase to know for sure

Comment 7

[Derek Schrock]

It depends on what the size= is in the select tag

anything less then 6 will not draw the arrows/bar

testcase coming soon

Comment 8

[Derek Schrock]

Attachment: Testcase with <select >'s size= less then 5

Comment 9

[Derek Schrock]

Attachment: Testcase with <select >'s size= 6

size that's => 6 will draw the arrows

dupe of bug 161050? (which is probably WFM anyway)

If you want to mark bug 161050 as closed even though it draws something
freakish, then go ahead. At least it's functional.

This is a different problem. Scroll bars aren't being drawn for select form
controls of size <= 5. This is a _major_ impediment to usability. These forms
are _not_ functional to the point of usability. This is broken. Don't get rid of
it by glomming it onto another, unrelated, bug.

Please reopen this. I tried but I don't have the power.

Avi, the test cases here works for me.. and have for a little while.

Please retest with a current nightly build and if you're still seeing this
please report back your findings & details and I'll be more then happy reopening
(Camino build ID, OS X version & if you can attach a screen shot via "Create a
New Attachment")

thx!

I just updated to the 2003082402 nightly (the 20030825 nightly is a 7 meg
null-filled file). I checked my local css file to make sure that it didn't have
any entries that would interfere. And still the first test case
(http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=122064&action=view) shows up with
no scroll bars.

Does everyone else see scroll bars in it but me?

[Mike Pinkerton (not reading bugmail)]

if you have single-scroll arrow at each end, or both at one end, you'll get a
working scrollbar. if you have double at each end, you'll get the "disabled"
appearance because the controls don't fit in the given space. this is a
"feature?" in apple's scrollbars and it's nothing we can fix.

Comment 17

[Derek Schrock]

I have a scrollbar with both testcases

I guess this has been fixed?

Re comment 16:

Does Camino use native widgets for select lists? If so, wouldn't it be possible
to use the small scroller size for small select lists (as Safari does)? It's
still possible to have lists too short for scroll bars, but it would make them
work down to a smaller size.
