228869 - dropdowns skip/jump every other entry when using up/down keypresses

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 219706

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031218 Firebird/0.7+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031218

If I use the keyboard to move up and down a dropdown menu, e.g. the From
identitiy when composing, or the Views dropdown, the highlighted selection skips
every other entry, moving up and down two entries at a time. It's bizarre.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.bring up a dropdown menu
2.press down arrow key repeatedly
3.

Actual Results:  
selection moves down two entries at a time

Expected Results:  
selection should move down one entry at a time

This has been around for a little while, although I only notice it occasionally,
normally using the mouse.

I searched all open mailnews bug summaries, but didn't see anything obvious for
skip, jump or dropdown. Hope it's not an obvious dupe.

I'm running my own GTK2 build.

Confirmed. This happens on the mail client only, but not on the browser location
bar pulldown which does move up or down by one list entry.

Comment 3

[Mitch]

I can confirm that this also happens on my Solaris gtk2 build but NOT
on my gtk1 build of mozilla. This appears to be gtk2 specific. 
The earliest build i have verified it on is 20031217

I had a really old build lying around, from 20030530, and the bug is present
there, too.

This appears to be fixed by the checkin yesterrday for bug 219706 

Reported please close.

Yup, this should be a dup, thanks Mitch.

and the fix for 219706 does indeed fix the problem I reported.
