218700 - adding options to SELECT doesn't increase height to accomodate new options

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 62384

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

Adding options to a SELECT doesn't increase the height of the select to
accomodate the new options.  For example, if the select starts with only one
option and it is empty, and then some non-empty options are added, the
descenders in letters are cut off.

Testcase:

<select><option></option></select>

<button onclick="c=document.createElement('option');
c.appendChild(document.createTextNode('quuasdasdasdx'));
document.getElementsByTagName('select')[0].appendChild(c);">Add an option</button>

Attachment: testcase

1. Load testcase.
2. Click the button.
3. Select the new option.

Result: descenders in the option are cut off because the SELECT isn't tall
enough.
