223531 - Select size="1" option text does not display properly in valid HTML 4.01 page

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Chris McGrath]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

In the HTML testcase (sorry can't make a URL out of it) two of the final select
options do not display properly when selected. The 2nd one is truncated and the
3rd one dissapears completly, most but not all of the time. I've validated the
HTML with the W3 validator and it passes (css also). The 2nd HTML file shows a
workround (In the first there is a span around all the selects, in the 2nd, i've
broken up the span so it doesn't cover the selects)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load HTML in browser
2. Select 2nd or 3rd option in final select


Actual Results:  
2nd and 3rd options not displayed correctly

Expected Results:  
Displayed the options correctly

Happens in NS7 and Firebird 0.6.1 also.

Please don't mark bugs "DUPEME" and "NEW" at the same time... in this case the
DUPEME is what looks right to me.

Sorry, I thought I'd added in a reference to a similar big #35953 but looking
back I hadn't. Apologies... first time doing this.

I see this bug with 1.7.x builds and earlier, but the testcase worksforme with
builds since 1.8a1.

reopen if you can reproduce with a current trunk build (deer park)
