(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Michael]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

Setting the display propety of the OPTION element to inline causes the SELECT
box to be rendered as simply a horizontal scoll bar.  None of the options are
listed except the current option.  Using the arrow keys works as expected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put a FORM with SELECT and OPTION elements on a page
2. Give the OPTIONs the CSS display property of inline
3. View the page

Actual Results:  
SELECT rendered as stated above

Expected Results:  
Either force the OPTIONs to act as if they were display: block (action of other
browsers) or display a horizontally scrolling selection box.

Testcase WFM OS X/2003041008, items are inlined and viewable, but I'd imagine 
it may be preferrable to ignore the style completely. (screen shot to follow)

(also note, camino does ignore formatting and presents the options

I think this is probably a bug that was fixed with the recent <select> stuff. 
Michael, can you try in a more recent build?  Does it show up like that
screenshot?  It does for me, and that's expected behavior.

Last night I compiled Mozilla 1.4a on my Linux machine (Debian 3.x testing) and 
it looks the same as it does with Mozilla 1.3 and 1.4a under Windows, except 
under Linux I can actually tell there might be something to scroll with the 
scrollbar.




I will be attaching an screenshot

1.4a is not recent enough ... the scrollbar changes went in a few days ago. 
Could you download a nightly at
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest ?  There's source there too if
you want to compile.
