Build ID: 2003032805 <select> controls with about 5 lines visible don't draw scrollbars. This has been around for as long as I can remember, but I can't find a bug for it. Mac OS X 10.2.4
Attached image No scrollbar
This is a serious usability problem. When I was filling out a form that I had many 4-line <select>s with a large number of options, I had to switch to Safari because I just could not reliably scroll to the invisible options. Safari has a minimum select size of 4, I believe, that it imposes if size > 1 regardless of the user-specified value of size. The minimum size of Safari's <select>s can be a little smaller than ours because it uses the small variant of the scrollbar control. I suggest that we implement a similar solution.
Dup/bug 187315, which is itself probably a dup of an earlier bug that I can't find. See also http://www.mentovai.com/tmp/camino-bug-200304051700.html. Mark
