On Ubuntu:

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Selecting an option of an HTML-Dropdown (via mouse or keyboard), i.e. data:text/html,<form><select><option>First option</option><option>Second one</option></select><button type=submit>Submit</button></form>.
  2. Confirm, after selecting an option, the selectbox is still focused.
  3. Press Enter.

Actual results:

Expected results:

  • The dropdown for the <select> opens.

After an internal discussion with :Jamie and :Gijs for the bug 1715027, the Accessibility team's recommendation would be to follow the OS convention (which would achieve the parity with Chrome, in this case):

  • Windows and Linux - pressing Enter key opens the dropdown
  • macOS - pressing Return key to submit the selection
