When attempting to make a selection, a full-screen-heigh blank selection box comes up, but does not actually show values (at least not without waiting a totally unreasonable amount of time; I eventually gave up). Although it's absurd to make a menu this big, it works after only a second or two in Safari and IE. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to https://campus.acm.org/icpc/ 2. Attempt to make a selection for "Name of School" in the Education section 3. Actual Results: Blank template for pull-down menu appeared, with no actual choices. CPU usage went from very low to 100% and stayed there until I released the mouse button Expected Results: Displayed all of the choices
Dup of bug 162356?
Whoops, my bad... this is the same issue. In actuality, it *does* give all the options after a couple of seconds. What's strange is that it doesn't draw any of them on the screen; you have to scroll up to get to anything, even the default selection (which, coupled with the continuous CPU spike, is why I thought it simply wasn't drawing them). Once you've scrolled up, you can't scroll back down past the bottom of the actual list of options. Should that issue be reopened as a different bug so that my original post can be dup'd?
This maybe be a special case but still should be looked at. The special case is that the selected="selected" element is at the bottom of the list (also there's a lot of option elements). Camino draw the rectangle then places the option outside of the drawn rectangle (forcing you to scroll/move up to even see the selected="selected" item from comment #2). Seems that all the other Aqua browsers (Safari, IE and OmniWeb) will start populating the rectangle at half the height when you have a list that is from the top to the bottom of the screen. The current mutation of the bug is not a dup of dup 162356, but the orginal description and steps are a dup of bug 162356. To keep it clean I think we should set this as a dup and a new bug should be filed. Anyone else wanna comment?
Yep still present in 2003082402.

This (the mutation of the bug) no longer seems to be reproducable; I suspect that it was fixed by the patch for bug 185550. Marking fixed.
